Chetan - I'm not familiar with that library, but in general I would first
         utilize whatever host operating system command the vendor provides
for interacting with the library, to ascertain its status and check the
drives in question.  For example, the 3494 has the host 'mtlib' command
for performing queries on it and its drives.  (And, ideally, such
facilities would be the basis of a continual service assurance monitor
running in the host operating system.)  It may be that the library is
providing misleading feedback; or there may be some incompatibilities
between the Solaris-resident device driver and library resulting in
some miscommunication with the box, where a driver upgrade or box
microcode updates may help.
