There's drive firmware,
and there's library firmware.
What make/model of library?
What make/model of drive(s) in that library?

Jim, we changed the drives two days ago and I flashed the latest firmware
after that.

Reading your other message about rebooting the library so often leads me
a though, when was the library and tape device microcode updated? It'sthat
easy
and reasonbly fast to do (about 15 minutes on most libraries) and I'm
beginning to wonder if that's the problem.
Remember your tape library is a computer too, just a specialized one,
needs update and back up itself every now and then.this

So if it shows:
TAPMLB01 VARIED ON
TAP01 OPERATIONAL ALLOCATED
Should I de-allocate it?

You should see all your drives.
If another process has a drive, it should appear.

Our backups are failing thusly. It makes no sense at all.
There are tapes.
There is nothing else accessing the library.
What's going on? I've tried everything I can think of.
