We have a 3575-L32 library. About a week ago the library was unavailable due to a broken drive (drive 1 which is also the library control path). The power board was replaced and everything looked fine afterwards. Since then, every now and then drives go offline after the following error: ANR8300E I/O error on library 3575LIB-R1 (OP=00006C03, CC=207, KEY=05, ASC=2C, ASCQ=00, SENSE=70.00.05.00.00.00.00.0A.00.00.00.00.2C.00.00.00.00.00., Description=Device is not in a state capable of performing request). Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. ANR8446I Manual intervention required for library 3575LIB-R1. Unrecoverable drive failures on drive RMT5 (/dev/rmt5); drive is now taken offline. I tried everything. Deleting the drives from AIX, purging the SAN Data Gateway device database and rescan the SCSI interface, nothing seems to work. I checked Appendix D for ASC=2C, ASCQ=00. The only line I can find is: 0x2C 0x00 Command sequence error. I'm lost!!!! Any help will be VERY much appreciated!
