Hi All

Recently we are having some errors with the tapes. We add some new tapes to the library and inventory successfully (with bar code). However when we run backups, the tapes are frozen, following errors are shown in the bptm log:

io_ioctl: ioctl (MTWEOF) failed on media id XXXXXX, drive index 1, The media is write protected. (19) (bptm.c.23992)

The strange thing is:
1. The tape is not write protected for sure.
2. If i unfreeze the tape and rerun the backup, the tape can be used without any problem, so don't know why we have write error the first time.

The master server is 6.5.5 on Windows 2003 Standard server (64 bit), the tape drive is HP.

Anyone has any idea?

Thanks!

Leo
