Hi,

We've been getting the following error messgae for one of the tape drives.
Howerver, it's not occurring daily

Jukebox is not ready ot it is busy (alert from NMC)

The Library Control Blade (LCB) has lost communication with the robotics 
subsystem (alert from tape library)

When I ran inquire command on the networker server, it gave me this 
output.

//./Tape instead of //./Tape 2

Backup through tape2 works fine. Library gives errors but eventually 
mounts/unmounts the volume.

Drive ordering is fine.
Persistent binding is enabled.

It was working fine all the time...

any suggestions ? could this be the hardware issue ?
