Hi there,
More info is needed.
* What are the messages in your activity log?
* What OS is it attached too? If AIX, check the errpt. If Windows check
your event viewer.
* How long do they work for after you make them available again? Do they
break right away as soon as they use a tape, or it is specific tape(s)
causing the issue. Bad Tapes can cause weird things to happen.
* What kind of drives are they, and what kind of library are they in?
Lots of things can cause a drive to go off-line.
