    Not good....

    Status should show something like this:

     

       sense key(0x0)= No Additional Sense   residual= 0   retries= 0
       file no= 0   block no= 0

     

    write protected or reserved means one of the systems accessing this drive is holding SCSI reservation on the drive.

    Is drive shared or dedicated to this media server? SCSI or Fibre connected?
    Have you checked /var/adm/messages for HBA or device-related errors?

    To release reservation, try the following:
    mt -f <drive_path_name> forcereserve
    followed by:
    mt -f <drive_path_name> release
