For whatever reason I've had, what TSM says is drive problems.

08/06/01 09:33:31     ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library
3494LIB.

This has been going on since this morning. I don't get it because the drives
are available if I q drive. I also see mounts if I q mount. All 4 drives
seem to be working. So now what? I searched back in the log and this just
started happening at 9:30 this morning. I know IBM was in working on 2
drives that MVS has, I don't use or see them. They showed up at 9:20 so it's
obvious this was probably caused by them. They must have taken the library
offline to get at the 2 drives MVS uses. Why that afected me I don't know.

Here is some more of a sequential log listing. I haven't done anything at
all. I was out all last week so I couldn't and nobody else has access. I've
been running fine since my upgrade to 4.2 a few months ago so I have no clue
what's happened. I did a complete system shutdown and restart and this is
still going on.
