Hi, Just to join. Today one of the tapes got a write error. In the AIX error report we found this:
Description TAPE OPERATION ERROR Probable Causes TAPE User Causes MEDIA DEFECTIVE DIRTY READ/WRITE HEAD To be sure I got the drive details: Drive Usage Statistics Loads 5719 Unloads 5719 MB written 139338803 MB read 1437640 Cleanings 251 Power on hours 8590 Interesting part is the number of cleanings. Our cleaning tape has been used 19 times in the past 3 years. This drive is a replacement drive put in our library by IBM to replace a drive with a tape stuck in it.
