I went in and toggled the drive and path "Online" then off-line and it
came back.  It took toggling the "Path" to get it to come back.

Thanks for the help,
Eric

If the drive and the path are on-line, then TSM should try to use the
drive.  When TSM tries to use the drive the Status will change
accordingly.
We see this situation frequently.

We are running TSM 5.2.2 server on AIX with clients 5.2.2(windows/UNIX).

We had the picker hang up today and is in the process of being repaired.

We are running a IBM 3484 library.

The problem is with RMT1 which is now showing "Drive State: UNKNOWN" but
the other drives look fine.

How can I change it back to "EMPTY" since the drive is empty?

I tried to toggle it "OFFLINE" then back "ONLINE" but it stayed in the
same state.
