Hello all, I have not posted here before and I am fairly new to TSM so
please bear with me.
I am trying to re use tapes from Backup Exec with Tivoli 5.1.5.  This is a
proof of concept server.  It has a single manual DLT drive to use.  Many of
the Automated library commands are unavailable with this manual drive.  When
I try to label the tape using the GUI wizard it notifies me the tape is
write protected.  But it is not physically write protected.  I was able to
successfully use a new DLT tape.  Does anyone know of some type of low level
format for these tapes?  Or way to force this.
I am running TSM on a windows 2000 server with the drive internal.
This is a temporary environment until we get our real environment up and
running for TSM.
