Software configuration error on Tape Device??

I got an EMS Event Notification ( see details below as I ran the "resdate" commmand ) from the syslog. I did an ioscan and the tape drive shows as NO_HW. This happened also yesterday. But after I power-cyled the tape library it shows back in ioscan. Any thoughs??

Severity............: SERIOUS
Monitor.............: dm_stape
Event #.............: 100876
System..............: lsprod.lsac.org

Summary:
Tape at hardware path 1/0/4/0/0.1.18.255.0.0.1 : Software configuration error


Thanks,

Shalom,

Could be a problem with the connection cable, or the scsi card.

I have on LTO2 drives found replacing the scsi cable makes this go away about half the time.

Firmware?

I would log a call with HP to investigate.
