I suppose that you have DLT7000 drives.  They need to be upgraded to
microcode level 60.  That has fixed that problem for us.

Subject:  Write Errors at EOT

ADSM'ers,
Has anyone experienced write errors when the "End of Volume" is reached
for either Tape pools or Copy Pools?
We have received the following errors which forces the "Error State" to
yes and access mode to "ReadOnly".

"read-only" due to write error.

All tapes are brand new and only occurs on volumes that reach the EOT
marker.
Any advice would be appreciated.
