Thanks!

The path was off-line...

I brought the path to the drive on-line.

TSM took awhile but it used the drive last night successfully

Thanks to all for responding so quickly!

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?
