Any drive taken off-line then brought on-line will have a state of unknown.  As 
long as the path is on-line TSM will use the drive.  As soon as TSM uses the 
drive the state will change to something other than unknown.

Have you tried to re-define the path of the tape drive ¿?

A couple of days ago, we had a bad tape in one of our drives.

TSM reported the problem and took the drive "off-line"

I removed the tape and brought the drive back "on-line"

But now it shows it's state as being "UNKNOWN" and TSM
is not using it.

Anyone have a solution?

Below is the query result:
