Subject: tapes getting marked PRIVATE


It looks to me that each time I run a db backup TSM will attempt to grab a
tape, think it finds an I/O error on the label read, then marks the tape
PRIVATE and then moves on to the next tape.  That wouldn't be such a problem
except that it will do this to almost every tape in my library.

I have had the drive hardware checked in the library and had both drives
replaced.  Did not have the picker checked.

This problem does not seem to be happening during a regular data backup
- only during the DB backup.

Anyone seen this before or have any ideas.....?????
