CC409 Media Fault, clean the heads and ensure the media is not
     physically damaged or too old.

     ASC00 ASCQ01 Filemark detected

     was that op RSR or Forward Space Record (FSR) ?

     Key 80, blank check...

     So if I got this right is was doing a record forward space as part of
     a blank check and found a filemark...

     were these new tapes... that is could they have been old tapes and the
     label job end with tapes not labeled, volser already present kind'a
     thing ?

     later,
           Dwight

Recently upgraded our ATL7100 to add 3 additional drives and more slots
for tapes.
I was able to successfully dsmlabel the tape and to a checkin.  When
ever one of
the new tapes tries to get used I get media errors.
OP=RSR  CC=409  KEY=80  ASC=00 ASCQ=01 SENSE=F0.00.80.FF......etc
Any ideas?  I'm new to ADSM.
