In regard to: Re: [Networker] pickup error and drive disabled., Elvis...:

I have looked at the Picker (the thing that transports the tapes).
But i dont know how to run diagnostics on it.

Have you tried IPL'ing (rebooting) your tape library?  That may reset the
picker to a good state.

The libraries I have experience with all do a POST and a robot calibration
on IPL, and that generally clears up issues with the picker.
