I suspect that when the hardware swap was done, the SCSI address for your hardware
were changed. You will need to change your path definitions so that the element number
(in the drive definitions) matches the same physical drive as the device name.
Note: the behavior you describe is very typical for such a situation--tapes are
mounted by element number, but seem to be dismounted by device name.

Subject: Issues with DLT7000 Tape Drives
Good Morning,
Have any body ever experience the following or something similar before. I am
running TSM 5.1.5 on a W2K server, the tape library is a 9740 STK with 5 DLT7000 tape
drives.
Recently we had to replace the Changer (Arm) of the library because it died on
us. After that happened I was not able to talk to the library at all from tivoli. So
what I did is delete the drives and the library, and recreate them once again.
Now whats happening, tivoli will start a migration proccess, and it will sent
the mount command to the library, the library will mount the tape, at this point
tivoli does not recognizes that the tape is mounted, it hangs like that for about 5
min, and then it says that the tapedrive goes offline, and that inside of it there is
something (not saying wich tape it is), and to remove it manually.
Here is the error:
ANR8302 (OP=OFFL, Error Number=21, CC=203, KEY=02, ASC=04, ASCQ=03)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
