HI.
I've opened up a PMR with IBM for this problem, but figured someone could maybe help here debugging as well..
To recap:
We updated our TSM installation from 5.3.5 to 5.4.3. We also upgrade our ATAPE driver to the newest release as well as the firmware to the drive and library (TS3500).
All went well, except that now, once in a while, i get in a batch a bunch of IO errors when TSM tries to mount a scratch tape...

First time i saw this happen, i decided to check out those tapes and relabel them...Worked for some but not all of them. I labelled new tapes and again, worked for some but not all of them. Those that did not work, i checked them out once more, checked them in and they worked...
Problem happens on pretty much all RMTs (above was on rmt1 but saw it happen on 3-4 more drives).
I've rmdev -l all rmts and smcs and ran cfgmgr to rediscover it all but no changes...
I could downgrade back to my original atape, would that help? IBM wants me to completly remove paths/drives and paths/library and then redo my configuration...
Any thoughts?
thanks.
