What is the firmware level of your drives? I have a 3584 and it came
with version 18N2. I started getting DRIVE1 going unavailable about
once a week or more often. IBM updated firmware to 22UD and then
drive would just get write error and not go unavailable.
Replaced drive and o.k. since.
Most of the time the tape would remain in the drive, apparently
there has been some reports of this at customer sites.

This is what I get when I query the drives:

LB6 LB6DR1 LTO Unavailable

This is what I get in the eventlogg on the server:
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Tape1.
After I have restarted the server everything works alright for one week
until the next wednesday at 12:00. I don t have any schedules starting at
this time in TSM or on the server. It s not the same drive that gets
unavailable every time. Any one who has a clue whats wrong?
Thanks in advance.
