Also, sometimes a tape gets funny.  I've had to relabel tapes before with
overwrite=yes in order to make them work at times. Something the first label
gets funky or something.

It looks to me that each time I run a db backup TSM will attempt to grab
a tape, think it finds an I/O error on the label read, then marks the
tape PRIVATE and then moves on to the next tape.  That wouldn't be such
a problem except that it will do this to almost every tape in my
library.

I have had the drive hardware checked in the library and had both
drives replaced.  Did not have the picker checked.

This problem does not seem to be happening during a regular data backup
- only during the DB backup.

Anyone seen this before or have any ideas.....?????
