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.

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.
