Your tape drive is probably fine.
I've seen this happen frequently.
Always under the following conditions:
While booting the system, a tape is loaded into the drive.
This combination of events, depending upon the timing, could easily
result in an LLIO error caused by the i/o system not recognizing the
tape drive while it is active during the "i/o scan" occurring at bootup.
After experiencing it several times, I try to infoem my clients to
NEVER load a tape while booting the system.
I also recommend NOT booting the system during a thunderstorm - but
that's another story.
