What type of LTO drive is it ?
 
We had so many problems with our NEO from Overland Data they swapped the
Seagate drives with HP.
 
ALL of our problems went away.

I'm having a problem with one shared drive. 
I have 3 windows 2000 servers sharing 4 LTO1 drives.
Utilizing all Compaq equipment for the SAN. NBU(MP3)
 
One drive frequently is marked down(Its always the same drive) on two
mediaservers.
Its up on the Master(I've seen it down once on the Master).
Library is a Compaq MSL5060L1 OEM Overland Data Neo
 
I can only believe its a problem with the Drive? Anyone have anyother ideas?
 
Firmware on drive, hba, switches, library all seem to be current.
I even tried the Veritas Drivers
