Whereas you've verified that the write-protect tab is properly set for R/W, you 
need to examine your logging to see if there is one drive or multiple 
exhibiting the Write Protected condition.  If one drive, there may be a sensor 
issue.  If multiple, it may be a microcode defect issue.  LTO5 is new, and 
there have been reports of firmware deficiencies.  It would be healthy to 
render the drives offline to TSM and conduct testing of each drive, at the OS 
level, using a test tape of known condition.
