It is different tapes and different drives. I am starting to think it could be the HBA FC card in the physical blade that connets to the backplane of the Blade Chassis.
The tapes are ok, and it will happen on a new tape as well. All drive tests come out as ok with now errors.

If you run AUDIT on this tape on the same drive, at another time, does the tape read OK? Or does the same tape always fail? -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ads...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Adrian Compton Sent: Friday, March 19, 2010 2:05 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] ANR8311E errors Hi all We are using a JS12 Blade in a IBM Blade Centre running AIX 5300-10, Atape.driver 12.0.4.0, EMC SAN using NAVIAGENT and NAVICLIENT 6.28.21.0. Tape and SAN traffic running through the Blade FC Card, and the other FC is configured as failover. We are using this config in Mauritius and do not have any errors at all. The Tape Library is a TS3310 with a 9U expansion unit, and all licensing is configured. We have 4 x LTO3 FC 4GB Drives. The Library is running firmware as below: 3576-MTL Firmware Version 570G.GS025 Robot Firmware Version 102Q.GR004 Imager Firmware Version 000 BSP Level 6.73 Last Update 10/14/2009 9:34 The drives firmware is as below: Drives: 93G0 TSM Server Enterprise Edition is running at version 5.5.2, with a 2TB disk storage pool on the SAN, that is used for OS/NT level backups. All DB/Large/streaming structure backups go to Tapepools. Current errors from the TSM actlog are as follows, and these same errors are experienced sporadically as well during other operations such as migration/reclaim etc, so not only limited to reads:
