Tsm server v5.1.6.2, running on Sun e3500 under solaris 2.8.
Library is ibm 3494 ethernet ethernet connected.
Drives are four 3590b.

Many times this week during offsite reclamation, the process will end with the 
message "anr8447e no drives are available in library atoz.

Checking the activity log, there are nvever more than three drives in use, and 
q path and q drive shows all paths on-line, and all drives available.
Stgpools offsite and bigtape, (onsite pool) are assigned to devclass 3590 which 
has a mountlimit of four.

I'm confused.  It looks like tsm doesn't see available drives all the time.

Any idea where to start looking?

TIA for the help.
