(Just informational as I only saw 3 unrelated ANR8834E's in the archive)

OS:               AIX 4.3.2.0
TSM:             3.7.3.0
Library:        Breece-Hill Q215, DLT 7000 drives.

I started having error messages this morning:

ANR8447E No drives are currently available in library Q2LIB

The Q drive command showed the 2 drives as online.

I don't know what precipitated this (maybe a power interruption?), but I
checked the library and found tapes physically mounted in the drives (TSM
showed no mounts).  I had the robotics (via manual keying) move the tapes
back to their original slots.

I tried an audit library command, but received some error messages,
primarily:

ANR8834E Library volume B0002 is still present in library Q2LIB drive DRIVEA
(/dev/mt2), and must be removed manually.

(a similar message for DRIVEB also).

I didn't see any obvious commands to remedy the situation, as the tapes had
already been manually removed.

I both rebooted and restarted TSM.  I received messages telling me to run
audit library at startup, but when I did I immediately received the
ANR8834E.

To remedy: I did a delete drive command for both library drives. I then (re)
defined them (don't forget to save your element information before
deleting).

This seems to have done the trick.  Audit library then ran successfully.

If someone has more information about the root cause of ANR8834E, or a
better corrective action, let me know...just trying to save some time in the
future with a possible work around.
