Nsikan,
I know nothing at all about OpenVMS, so I cannot give any hint about OS. However, you can get for free a very useful tool for troubleshoot your library and much more:

Install it, check your library and generate a LTT support ticket. Feel free to post the ticket here.

There could be several reasons for your problem: your SCSI ctrl, your SCSI cable and/or terminator, the library controller too. A check of OS logs and LTT ticket will be interesting.

Hope it helps
Claudio
