I am in the situation where I am a contactor working for IBM. There is a
dedicated purchase person in Atlanta who handles our purchases and I need
to touch base with her to find out if there is a toe to be stepped on.  I
have contacted Tivoli and asked them if there is the potential that the
database is corrupt or there may be some other application related reason
for the bunch of media errors and have not gotten very far. I have also
contacted our IBM support CE and he talked it over with sources and decided
that 21 tapes out of less than 500 failing in a year isn't excessive
(almost 5 percent failure). Will just have to wait and see if my tape woes
moderate. Much appreciate the info.
