Are your drives 3590 E1A? I receive this error on a frequent basis since
moving to E1A, with a mix of "J" 128 track and "K" 256 track tapes.

Subject: ANR error
All,
I keep getting the ANR 8392 error and the ANR8359 error on one of my drives.
I
looked up the error description at the site and basically it says ensure the
device id defined correctly and an Audit volume may be necessary to ensure
no
data was lost on the transfer.
>From my experience I/O errors are not necessarily a bad thing. They could
be
very easily explained , such as bad media, offline drive, open panel, tape
drive
needs cleaned and or patch update. I need to know the command to verify the
device id associated with each device and if it is necessary to do an audit?
I
was thinking of resetting the drives or a possible reboot of the storage
box?
My microcode for the drive is the lates and greatest as well as the pathes
for
our adsm server version which is 3.1.2.90 and AIX 4.3 with all the adapter
updates Any suggestions?
Thanks
derek
Details are below
ANR8302E I/O error on drive drive name (OP=internal code, CC=internal code,
KEY=internal code, ASC=internal code, ASCQ=internal code,
SENSE=sense data, Description=error description).
Refer to Appendix B in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action.
Explanation: An I/O error has occurred while operating on the designated
drive.
System Action: The operation fails.
User Response: Ensure that the DEVICE parameter associated with the drive
was
identified correctly in the DEFINE DRIVE command,
and that the device is currently powered on and ready. The drive or library
reference manual
provided with the device usually contain tables that explain the values of
the
KEY, ASC, and ASCQ fields.
If the problem persists, contact your service representative and provide the
internal code values and sense data from this message.
ANR8359E (AS/400) Media fault detected on device type volume volume name in
drive drive name of library library name.
Explanation: The server encounters a media fault while accessing the given
volume using the specified drive.
System Action: The operation that is attempting to access the volume fails,
and
the volume is immediately dismounted from the drive.
User Response: In some cases, the server automatically marks the volume
unavailable.
If this does not happen automatically, issue an UPDATE VOLUME command to set
the
volume's access value to unavailable.
This prevents the server from trying to mount the volume to satisfy user
requests.
It is also necessary to issue an AUDIT VOLUME command to determine if any
data
has been lost due to the media failure.
