Did you go through a major upgrade just recently? We upgraded from V3.7.3.6 to V4.2.1.7 yesterday, and TSM lost control of the tape drives afterwards. We got messages like yours, plus a whole bunch of other bizarre ones. Tivoli had us delete and redefine the drives in AIX and TSM, which didn't change anything. Eventually, we got a working TSM implementation by upgrading the tape and tape library drivers to the latest and greatest versions. We met the minimum standards for driver version levels, but what we had apparently wasn't enough for 4.2.
Tivoli never said anything about having to upgrade drivers (even though we met the minimum standards) when you're leapfrogging 3 levels during the upgrade process; now we know.
