Hi all,

one of my drives in the library continues to produce errors  and is taken
offline by tsm.
01/24/03 11:00:45 ANR8779E Unable to open drive /dev/rmt1, error number=46.
01/24/03 11:00:51 ANR8792E Unrecoverable drive failures on drive RMT1
(/dev/rmt1); drive is now taken offline.
errno 46 is defined within aix as being a device not ready error.

now I've tried to delete and redefine the unit on both platforms, but no
success.
the server no comes with an advice to audit the library, since I have no
clues anymore I'm willing to try this, but have never done it before. The
manuals speak of it as being quite time consuming but nowhere it says
approx. how long and if I can in some way reduce the time.
The manuals also state that some processes will be halted for as long as the
audit is running, but again nowhere it states which ones or maybe all
processes.

does anyone have a clue??

thanx a lot,
michelle (again *sigh*)
