Yes, there is. It can happen if you have a drive whose element ID mapping

This will show any I/O errors in last day. You can search

We use 9840 cartridges manufactured by Imation, similar to IBM 3590 tapes.
For our company, Imation will replace the cartridges that are defective as a
result of Imation processing; on average, this was true for half of the
cartridges that failed. The only sticking point is that we must send the

You should also look at the RESTORE VOLUME command which will attempt to
recreate your primary storage pool volume (on a different volume) from copy
pool volumes.

'UPDate Volume ... ACCess=DEStroyed' or ACCess=UNAVailable.
But it's best to deal with the tape data in whatever manner is
appropriate and then get it out of the library so that a good
tape can be available.

xxx to re-create the tape if you are
using DRM.
It has been so long that I don't even know how to spell CA-1 TMS but are you
sure you have 200 bad tapes or a bad drive that has had I/O errors and ADSM
marked the tapes as bad. I keep a log of my bad tapes in my STK 9710 library
and hav
move the data from a bad tape to
another? What must i do in CA-1 that the bad tapes are not used again?
Please help me, it's really important.
With kind regards
