Hi all,
This may be an easy one, but I cannot remember I saw this before; nor could
I find any solution in the archives.
On a Tru64 4.0d box I suddenly no longer can access the tape device. It is a
tz885 library, and using the device /dev/nrmt1h always went okay.
Trying to load a tape or put it online doesn't work anymore: I/O errors:
trying to rewind: Error on device named /dev/rmt1h - Place TZ885 tape drive
unit #3 ONLINE
mt status gives:

Especially this one concerns me: status 0x3200 Device inoperable (needs

What does it mean? What should I do...
Thanks in advance!
