I have seen some messages here recently about 3583 drive errors.
I have a 3584 with (8) Fibre drives going through McData switches.
with TSM Server 4.2.2.10 on AIX 4.3.3 ML 10 and Atape sdriver
7.1.1.0. 3584 library code 2460 and drive code 25D4.
Have had 3584 about a year. Have had intermittant
errors maybe 2-3 times a month, but noticed that were only
happening on DRIVE1 which has control path. Moved Control
path to DRIVE5 and sure enough the errors were then happening
on that drive.
Working with our IBM CE on this for several months, IBM Tucson
initially was saying that the errors we were getting were media errors.
But I could reuse tha same tape and it would have no more problems.
On some instances, the tape would not be dismounted from drive
but have to have drive reset for eject.
Finally in late December my IBM CE called and said that IBM Tucson
had seen this problem all over and it was happeing on the Fibre Drives, the
drive that the Control Path was on and going through either IBM
2109 or McData switches. These were the common factors. IBM is
working on a code fix (I assume for drives and/or library).
I suspect problem could be happening on 3583 also.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem except that I have TSM server on AIX 5.1.
It is very strange, because it happens randomly always during unmounting
the tape.
It is always the same drive - /dev/rmt0.
Tape remains in the drive. I can unload tape using operator panel without
any problem. But if I want to use tapeutil utility I get following error
when I try to open device /dev/rmt0
Operation failed with errno 79: Connection refused
I have to reset SAN Data Gateway and then the drive is again accesible with
tapeutil and also from TSM server.
Does somebody know, what does error message : Operation failed with errno
79: Connection refused
mean? Where I can find information about this error number. I was looking
in Atape driver doc but there is no mention about this message.
In output from errpt there is no error from fibre adapter nor from tape
drive.
Here is copy of Event log from SAN DAta Gateway:

I am not specialist, but in my opinion there is only messages generated
during device rebooting.
Any help appreciated

Hi,
