Hello,

We have got this LANfree backup setup using the TSM Storage Agent.
We experience some strange write error on a tape in combination with the
Oracle TDP as can be seen in the actlog below.

Nugvas03 is the storageagent. It mounts a tape (volume 100031 at 07:19:05)
and a while later we see it unmounts it (at 07:22:35).
After that a write error occurs (07:23:58) for volume 100031  accompanied
with an error from nugvas03 (07:24:01).
Does anybody understands what is happening here?

TSM server and StorageAgent 5.1.5.4
Client and API 5.1.5.5
TDP for Oracle 2.2.1.0

Thanks

-Marcel
