Hi all,

During Backup Storagepool (from STK robot towards Magstar robot)
and also during space reclamation

we often get next message :

     IEC510D F 0944,H06190,ADSM,ADSM,ADSM.BFS
     *41 IEC510D REPLY 'U'-USE OR 'F'-UNLOAD
      Explanation:  F indicates that the tape volume indicated on the device is

      file-protected.  That is, a program may be attempting to write on the

      volume but its file-protection ring is not inserted or the tab is set to

      prevent a write, so it can only be read.


This msg is issued on INPUT vols  and means that vol is write-protected
(although it isn't !!!)
and that it should be writable (although it is only input ???)

This is very ennoying for the operators, because they have to respond each time
to the msg

Has anybody experienced the same problem and what can I do to solve it ?

We are still running ADSM Server 3.1.2.40 (upgrade to TSM planned in the near
future)

Thanks for any help,
