Drive is in SCAN-TLD

A drive is in SCAN-TLD mode/control. The drive seems underutilised as it has low mounts. There is another drive in TLD with low mounts as well. The two drives were down and I up the drives...

    SCAN-TLD means this is the master control device host for that specific tape drive. Something has to look after locking and sharing of the drive amongst the hosts its configured for when a backup is requested so there is no race condition for the same drive.
