Re: drive issues

Question is more WHY did it go unavailable? Query the ACTLOG around the time 
indicated to see what happened that made TSM take the
drive offline. I would also Q PATH to make sure that path is online and check 
the OS logs (errpt for Unix and event log for Windows.
You don't specify your OS) for any errors. Physically check the library and 
drive to see if there are any error code displayed on
the front of the drive or library panel. This could very well be a hardware 
error and you need to call the vender.

Check to see that the path is online, and that the drive is showing available 
on the OS.

hello,

      I noticed that one of my LTO drive is set unavailable for some reason. I 
tried to update the drive to put it back online, but
it does not work.
Can anyone tell me what  to check to see why it is set unavailable?

I tried to " update path TSME drive0 srct=server destt=drive libr=elto 
online=yes" ... it still say unavailable.
