Re: Tapes read only

Usually what I do is to change the access to readwrite and let TSM use them again. If you see that they give errors and TSM changes them back to readonly again then you should move the data and replace them. Yiannakis -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTE
