We recently had this problem. We suspect that it was caused by one the 3590's in MTM (Media Test Mode).
We had to re-label all the tapes and checkin as scratch -----Original Message----- From: Theresa Whitney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 20 September 2002 03:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.....?????
