Is there something else after the 'Read open error' statement? Could you paste in a couple of lines around this please? When there is a problem with one drive but not another in the library, we usually suspect hardware problems but it could also be that there is something else trying to access this drive at the same time. You could try increasing the 'unload sleep' jukebox property also to see if that helps any.
You can get the B.T.L information of the library from the 'inquire' output. then,
sjimm scsidev@B.T.L. slot 1 drive 1 - to move a tape from the first slot to the first drive sjimm scsidev@B.T.L. drive 1 slot 1 - to move a tape back to the slot

Hi Bobby,
In addition to Read Open Error, sometimes we are getting error "Unload Command not connected". "There is no tape in the drive.
However when I try to unmount from the library console, it gets unmount properly. The problem is occuring only with NetWorker.
I do not know how to check at OS level to unmount tape to some slot, so I have not tried that.
I have changed Unload sleep from 5 to 30 but still we are getting the same errors.
Regards,

Hi,
To test from the OS, you can use sjimm:
You can get the B.T.L information of the library from the 'inquire' output.
then,
sjimm scsidev@B.T.L. slot 1 drive 1 - to move a tape from the first slot to the first drive
