Hi..............

We are starting to see media faults on long tape(new HP LTO3) runs (2-4hrs) on 
our IBM 3588-F3B tape drives.  IBM CE has done all of his diagnostics which 
shows media faults.  We are wondering if it may be weak tape drives because of 
long tape drive runs.

Has anyone experience this type operation of the IBM 3588-FB3 tape drives??  
Could we be having long term heat issues in our Data Center concerning tape 
drives??
