Hello Humberto

I'll give you my best answer (and hope it helps);
The ANR8302E Says OP=OFFL meaning the drive is offline, you should be able
to see this on the library display. The sense code, comes from the device
(the drive) itself, and is not likely to be wrong (seen from a drive
perspective). It could be, you haven't labelled your volume, or that the
volume should be re-labelled, or checked for errors. Does this happen to all
volumes?

A long time ago, (at least 2 years) I upgraded a 3583 using serial
communication on the back of the library. I can't remember the exact way to
do it, but there is a small text document on the web (IBM), describing how
to do it, both by serial, and by SCSI, and the utilities to use. Try this
link - ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/358x/3583/3583_Howto.txt
Utilities to use at the same place (i think).

Hi I have two questions

Do anyone know how to solve this issue, after checkin in a tape, I audit the

library and I keep getting this response

It always says that it can't read the label of the tape inside the drive,
but I 
always have checked in the tape before (it appear on the query  libvol)
Platform: W2K, TSM 5.1.6.1, an external SDG 2108 R03 I have the lastest 
firmware versions for the Library and the drives.  There is an issue that
have 
something to do with cabling a SANDGM but I don't have a SANDGM installed on

the library. Also I'm using the TSM Device Driver for the Library and the 
windows drivers for the tapes.

  Another issue, that doesn't have anything with TSM, someone know how to 
upgrade an LTO RMU firmware via scsi or serial?  In the proccess of
upgrading 
it it failed, so now I don't have RMU control know, and on the manuals it 
doesn't talk about it (as long as I can see, you can only upgrade drives or 
library firmware through this process)

  Thanks in advance.
