No, that's the correct status for a standalone tape library/device (ifit's

Reading your other message about rebooting the library so often leads
to<PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>
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.

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

You should see all your drives.

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.
