Are you using the correct tape drive ?? Have you tried read/write on a different tape media on the same drive ??

There is a possibility that there is some problem with the drive.

Hi tayal sumit,
Use the following command to list the tape drives-
#ioscan -fnC tape
What ioscan output is showing, CLAIMED or not ? If it is not CLAIMED do the driver settings to correct the problem.
