N4000 unable to see one drive in a SureStore E 6/60 tape library

ioscan shows 5 of the 6 drives.

The tape library sees the drive OK and has no errors.

hardware location of the drive that is not showing up is 4 1/10/0/0.2.0

the other drives are located at:
tape 1 0/4/0/1.5.0
tape 2 0/12/0/0.1.0
tape 3 0/12/0/1.3.0
tape 5 1/10/0/1.4.0
tape 6 1/12/0/1.6.0

ran insf -C tape -e no help (ioscan still does not see the drive...

May be a bad drive. Consider to replace.

Run

ioscan -fnCtape

[Robert Bryan]

I believe you are right...We will be replacing the drive...

The ioscan does not show the missing tape drive at all..

Thanks for your help

It could be SCSI cable or termination issue.
