You have either a faulty HBA, faulty cables, a bad switch or a bad library - but somethiung is sending resets to the device and then it shows as being in use
You need to see if you can get logs from everything to see if you can pin it down.
There are setting on some switches that can cause a reset as well as on the HBA itself.
Also worth checking your media servers for ophaned bptm processes that can be causing issues in view of the "resource is in use comment" - this is what you get when Removable Storage Service or TUR has not been dealt with but also when bptm / bpbrm processes have been orphaned.
Are you sure nothing else is zoned to it that shouldn't be?.
