One of my TSM servers has drives continously going offline over the past few
days. I have 2 servers attached to the same library, server 1 is fine, server
2 keeps getting drive failures. On Sunday, all 4 drives went down within hours
of each other! This strikes me as suspecious, I see this sort of message in
the system logs:

This is happening with multiple tapes, not the same few. Does this sound like
a hardware problem or a software/driver issue? I can't find anything googling
around for the errors. The error on the library is that a drive failed with an
unload error, the tape is stuck down in the drive.
TSM 5.1.8.1
Solaris 8
IBMtape driver 4.0.8.0 (latest I am pretty sure)
lmcpd 5.3.9.0 (latest)
Drives are SCSI attached to the server
