Hello all,

As seen below, I have a library drive (DRIVE05) that is currently listed
as On-Line within the query drive command output but listed as not
On-Line in the query path command output.  I have logged a call with IBM
support to verify the drive is functioning; however, I am curious as to
why the inconsistency?
