Before export I've checked all the volumes from storage pool and they have the status ReadWrite. Beside that, after export, I put again the tape in ReadWrite status and I coud move the data to storage pool. How could I investigate if some tapes have problems before export?
Your best bet would be a review of the Activity Log, which would show TSM having problems with tapes - or drives. It may be that a marginal tape drive is screwing up the Export, and that will show up in the Activity Log as well as OS logs like the AIX Error Log (errpt cmd). Your info above indicates that your tapes seem fine, so a drive problem could be causing the exasperating termination of the long-running Export. If you can identify such a drive, do a Vary Off to keep it out of the line-up.
