Hi,
I have not had our TS3310 long and I am still in the process of setting up and
testing with TSM. I have an issues where I get a T038 Drite Tape Alert 9 -
Write Protect, often when a tape is used (but not all tapes). TSM is happy and
does not complain, and it seems (not yet tested 100%) that the tapes are being
written to, so it is just the tape library giving the message.
I would like to know why and how to stop it/fix it?
BTW: The tapes 'tabs' are set in the rw position!
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Ben
