How many barcode digits are you presenting to Tivoli? It might be an issue if you present only 6 and don't present the volume type qualifier L2 or L1. Had a similar problem with a HP EML245 on the same TSM version

If I put the tapes in and run a LABEL LIBV they label just fine. If we insert unlabeled tapes in the library, when TSM mounts one, gives the I/O error reading tape label but then puts the volume in PRIVATE status to prevent re-access. The library is configured AUTOLABEL=YES. The only thing I can think of is that the drives are LTO2 and all the tapes they are using are LTO1. It's a hand me down system. They had the tapes from an old Veritas implementation and their parent company gave them the library. And they don't have budget to buy all new LTO2 tapes. The devclass is set as FORMAT=DRIVE. Any ideas? I searched ADSM-L and IBM without success...but I may not have hit on the right combination of keywords for the query.. Bill Boyer "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional" - ??
