Hi ,

We got a problem with tapedrives in TSM 5.1 wich is on AIX.We have eight tape 
drives and all are online when I see from tsm>q drive.And all drives are in 
available status from OS.But TSM is using only drives 1,6,7 
from eight drives.
Anybody knows why these drives are not functioning?
because of this backups are taking double the time to normal and TSM droping 
some sessions.

appreciate for any help.

thanks in advance
