Re: Error Message from Audit library

Try the audit again and see if it works o.k.  If it still fails,
then physically check what tape is in location 4119.  Tape is probably
bad in some way.

=====The AIX command lsdev -Cc tape" shows no errors either=========

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???
