I am not sure if there are any specific tapes, but they do remain online
for a while.
They are attached to a AIX machine, i have check the errpt but could not
find any thing special.
They are 3590E and are being used in 3494.
Do they need any hardware level service?
Looking forward for any help

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.
