Hi, I have not had our TS3310 long and I am still in the process of setting up and testing with TSM. I have an issues where I get a T038 Drite Tape Alert 9 - Write Protect, often when a tape is used (but not all tapes). TSM is happy and does not complain, and it seems (not yet tested 100%) that the tapes are being written to, so it is just the tape library giving the message. I would like to know why and how to stop it/fix it?
BTW: The tapes 'tabs' are set in the rw position! Any suggestions welcome.
