Question is more WHY did it go unavailable? Query the ACTLOG around the time indicated to see what happened that made TSM take the drive offline. I would also Q PATH to make sure that path is online and check the OS logs (errpt for Unix and event log for Windows. You don't specify your OS) for any errors. Physically check the library and drive to see if there are any error code displayed on the front of the drive or library panel. This could very well be a hardware error and you need to call the vender.
