8mm Tape Problem

Occasionally we run into a problem with one of our 8mm tape drives.
It will be working fine one day and then the next day any time
someone tries to access it we get an error message like :
/dev/rmt0h : no such device or address.

Is there a way to reset the tape drive without shutting down the
system? What could cause the tape to stop working?

Thanks in advance...
Brad
