Has your CE installed the new drive clips? That helps with the dismount
problems.

Yep.. they are at a very recent, if not the most recent code level, along
with the library's code level. No more than 2 months old there... but
then, that could be the problem.. perhaps that code level is bad.. I will
have my CE get me the latest numbers and check that, but I suspect (hope)
that isn't the issue.

Have you had the firmware on the drives brought uptodate?

IBM.. and it is happening with frequency on tapes that are new, as well as
tapes we have had since day one. I cleaned the drives manually (using the
panel on the 3584), but we are still getting a few unavailables each
night.
I did some research on the tapes that went unavailable over the last 30
days, and all of the ones I checked had another error nearby.. indicating
that the dismount of that volume failed, and it may still be in the
drive... yet, they never are, they seem to be dismounted successfully.
I am still trying to figure this out... if anyone has a suggestion.
Thanks
