Hello Gerald,
we have three 3494 with 3590 Magstar Drives.
We have the same error messages in the errolog.
I have asked our IBM services technicians what these errors means.
They said this error messages will come up on eatch cleaning procedure in the
3590 Drives.
Some months ago we change the microcode on the 3590's.
Now we have other errorlog entrys being caused by cleaning.
MicroCode Level 3590 drives:

Thema: tape drive needs cleaning
We have an ibm h70 running aix 4.3.3 and TSM 3.7.3. It s hooked up to an ibm
3494 with two magstar 3590 drives. A month ago we saw some tape drive needs
cleaning messages in the aix error report. They repeated today..
IDENTIFIER TIMESTAMP T C RESOURCE_NAME DESCRIPTION
E507DCF9 1210101500 I H rmt1 TAPE DRIVE NEEDS CLEANING
D1A1AE6F 1210101500 I H rmt1 TAPE SIM/MIM RECORD
I m wondering if this is normal? To my knowledge the 3494 should be cleaning
itself as it does have cleaning tapes and is all configured to do so
automatically.
