We have TSM 5.1 server running on Solaris 8 with a 3583 IBM LTO tape
library that is scsi attached.  Every month or so we get tape drive errors
that hang the library so bad that we have to reboot to recover. TSM and
tapeutil can not see the drives until after the reboot. The IBM CE's
verified that the hardware if not the problem. They are saying the  problem
is somewhere between the library and the O/S.  Is anyone else running this
setup and experiencing similiar problems?  We have the same setup with the
exception of the tape drives being fibre or san attached and don't have
these problems.
