actually won't the audit "hang" if there is tape operation going on?
.... waiting for that operation to release the tape?

Don't just do audit library.  Do "audit library lib-name
checklabel=barcode".  Otherwise, it will go a long,long  time as it loads
every tape into a drive.

Try running an "audit library".

We are running TSM 5.2.2 server on AIX with clients 5.2.2(windows/UNIX).

We had the picker hang up today and is in the process of being repaired.

We are running a IBM 3484 library.

The problem is with RMT1 which is now showing "Drive State: UNKNOWN" but
the other drives look fine.

How can I change it back to "EMPTY" since the drive is empty?

I tried to toggle it "OFFLINE" then back "ONLINE" but it stayed in the
same state.
