Jim, It looks indeed to be a HW problem with the library (which is brand new, so that cancels option 1 and 2). I was just surprised that the tapes could be labelled as data is wrtten to them then too. But apperantly the HW issues only pop-up when you start sending the backup data, which are larger then a label of course. thanks, Kurt

I hope one of these solutions works for you.

My setup is the following: TSM 5.3.2 server with a MSL6030 SCSI attached library (2 HP-Ultrium 3 drives). The library has been defined in TSM and the labelling of the tapes went fine. However a migrate of the diskpool towards the LTOPool fails with the following messages: ANR0984I Process 42 for MIGRATION started in the BACKGROUND at 08:45:30. ANR2110I MIGRATE STGPOOL started as process 42. ANR1000I Migration process 42 started for storage pool DISKPOOL manually, highMig=90, lowMig=0, duration=No. ANR8337I LTO volume HK3722L3 mounted in drive DRIVE1 (mt1.0.0.5). ANR1340I Scratch volume HK3722L3 is now defined in storage pool LTOPOOL. ANR0513I Process 42 opened output volume HK3722L3. ANR8302E I/O error on drive DRIVE1 (mt1.0.0.5) with volume HK3722L3 (OP=WRITE, Error Number=1117, CC=208, KEY=0B, ASC=47, ASCQ=03, SENSE=70.00.0B.00.00.00.00.10.00.00.00.00.47.03.00.00.00.00.00.00.00.00., Description=Command aborted). Refer to Appendix D in the 'Messages' manual for recommended action. ANR1411W Access mode for volume HK3722L3 now set to "read-only" due to write error. ANR0515I Process 42 closed volume HK3722L3. What am I missing here?
