Have you tried to re-define the path of the tape drive ¿?

Subject: [ADSM-L] Drive state is "UNKNOWN"
 
A couple of days ago, we had a bad tape in one of our drives.

TSM reported the problem and took the drive "off-line"

I removed the tape and brought the drive back "on-line"

But now it shows it's state as being "UNKNOWN" and TSM
is not using it.

Anyone have a solution?

Below is the query result:
