Lori,
You could be having connectivity issues with your drives. On this post,
you stated 2 drives went offline, on the most recent, there were 3
drives offline. First, check for any defective cabling on the tape
drives. If the first step doesn't lead any conclusive results, you can
make use of the library web interface; download and review the drive
logs under "service". If it turns out that the drives themselves are
defective though it seems a bit far fetched that you have 3 faulty
drives at the same time; then you will need to contact IBM to have those
defective drives replaced.
Good luck.

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM server help needed
Hi folks,
I have a tsm server running on Linux on System z that has 5 tape
drives allocated. My backuppool migrates to tapepool and I have the
backuppool set to 5 migration processes. Although 5 are running, only
one tape drive is being used (2 just went offline for some reason???),
so backuppool keeps filling up.
