we are having similar problems. Config is Win2K w/ TSM4.2.3.1 with IBM3583 and 6-LTO drives, SCSI direct attached.
We get the same issues with all media mfg.'s we have used (IBM, HP, Imation, Maxell). I have a few Veritas BackupEXEC machines that use LTO. I have had a couple of tapes where BUE indicates that the chip in the tape has gone bad. I am wondering if some of the perceived errors are related to the chip. I have never seen an indication on any tape in our TSM box that there is a problem with the RFID chip.
