Shukrie,
Couple months ago at my shop we have "bad microcodes" and systems keep
marking a lot of tapes private/ unavailable
AND
vary drives off-line.
So have your IBM/CE checks the microcodes.
Good luck.
Hoa.

Hi again all,
Why do you think this drive is very very stubborn? I make it online and it
becomes offline automatically ... 4 times already ... i ask my hardware
technician to look at it and he replaced the drive with a spare drive ...
and asked me to do
rmdev -l rmt2 ----> to make it DEFINED in unix devices
and then
mkdev -l rmt2 ----> to make it AVAILABLE again in unix devices
but still the drive goes offline automatically ... oh yeah .. I also have
make it path and drive online again and again ... just like what the log
below says ... does anyone have any idea what is going on with this drive
... and can anyone suggest me what to do with this drive ... please don't
tell me to throw this drive to the river ... ! hhehehehehe ...
