The more modern form of this message, as reflected in the 5.2.2 Messages manual, is more illuminating.
It would be helpful if the posting included contextual information, such as the library type and drive type.

I would suspect a problem with the library. Check the AIX Error Log, which may have problem indications. Do 'show library' and get a better sense of status. Attempt to mount one of the problem volumes using the mtlib command or equivalent. Physically inspect the library and drives for problems, in particular looking for tapes stuck in drives. If no indications of real hardware problems, restart the TSM server to see if it's a latched status problem which thus clears.
