hi all,
        we have an IBM 7337 DLT tape library and are using it as primary
stgpool. It has happened to us twice that the ADSM server complains about
media error on DLT tapes when we do space reclaimation. (of course, those
tapes has not been used for a while.). Presiously the two tapes have no
error.

My questions are:
        1) are DLT tapes reliable?
        2) do I need to excercise those tapes once a while?
