Hi TSMers;

=====The AIX command lsdev -Cc tape" shows no errors either=========
rmt0 Available 10-b0-00-1,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive
smc0 Available 10-b0-00-6,0 IBM 3583 Library Medium Changer
rmt1 Available 10-b1-00-2,0 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive

Environment:

AIX 433 ML10
TSM 5..1.1.0


By the way, the error number=46 means "device not ready".!!!!
 The drive is in the available state as you can see above from the
 outout of "lsdev -Cc tape"


Any idea on what the problem (Error message) and the solution could be???
