Hi Johnn...
I experienced the same sort of errors on my drives (3583 LTO Library/NT
server) and after I updated the microcode on the drives, the errors went
away. I'm not sure about AIX systems, but it helped me

Subject: sense errors
Does anyone have any ideas on the following errors that showed up in our TSM
activity log? We have TSM 4.1.3 server running on AIX 4.3.3ML9, connected to
a SpectraLogic HVD 64000/Gator (with Sony SDX-500C drives).
We've sent the sense code info to Tivoli as well as SpectraLogic, but they
point at each other or general SCSI problems. We've already swapped out
the cables, the terminators, even one of the SCSI cards. We've cleaned the
drives, changed the filters, re-connected the cables, etc. Even though all
of the below are on DRIVE1, it actually happens to all six of our drives
eventually.
I checked the TSM Messages manual, and it's not that helpful.
* I'm writing not so much to get a definitive answer (as that's
obviously something specific to our site setup), but more for other clues
or leads that I could investigate. Maybe Tivoli, SpectraLogic, and our own
group have all been looking in the wrong direction. *
By the way, we get these on a more-or-less regular basis, like one set of
three (such as below) per week or every other week.
Thanks for any leads.
