Hi there,
I tried a long erasure on one of the "Not Appendable" tapes, and although the Job Monitor says 100% Successful, I get this from an error log:
----- TapeAlert Events -----
The device has reported the following TapeAlert diagnostic information.
Please contact your device manufacturer for more information regarding TapeAlerts.
Warning - The tape drive may have a hardware fault.
Check for availability of diagnostic information and run extended diagnostics if applicable.
Check the tape drive users manual for instructions on running extended diagnostic tests and retrieving diagnostic data.
Robotic Library:
Drive: IBM 2
Slot:
Warning - A severe error occurred while reading or writing data. This job may not have been successfully completed.
Robotic Library:
Drive: IBM 2
Slot:
Critical - The tape is damaged or the drive is faulty. Call the tape supplier helpline.
Robotic Library:

I suspect that the tape drive, which was only replaced very recently, was either not installed correctly, faulty or has become faulty since installation.
Can you help please?
Cheers,
Dave
