TSM is unable to talk to the library controller.  Usually this is indicative of 
a bad tape drive on IBM LTO libraries.  You might try power cycling the tape 
drive with the smc0 path through it (usually drive 1 in frame 1).  Other 
problems could include any component in the communication path to the library.
 
Good Luck!
