Hi Paul,

We have a P3000, which is basically the same architecture as a P2000, I
think.  Do they mean the tapes are coming out with the write protect tab
moved?  I can't imagine how that could happen... I know there is no
mechanism in the P3000 that can do that!  If they mean that the tapes are
being set to read-only mode in TSM, there are several conditions that can
cause that to happen, probably the most common are read or write errors.

Hi, we have a ATL P2000 with 4 DLT tape drives.  the operators are telling
me that some of the tapes are coming out write protected!  Does anyone know
if this is possible and if so why?

thanks
Paul
