I saw at the bottom of the spool file where it mentions the > and >> but
there isn't anything next to any of the tapes. If 102 temporary and 4
permanent write errors doesn't do it then what does it take to qualify as
"suspect"? Also, what's the difference between a temporary write error and
a permanent write error?

PRTERRLOG will put one > to the left of a tape that is suspect, and two >>
if it absolutely must be retired.

We do our nightly backup to a 3570 tape drive. Friday night we had a media
error. On Monday I did a PRTERRLOG TYPE(*VOLSTAT) VOLTYPE(3570) and got
the following for the tape:
Volume --Temporary Error-- ----Perm Error----- ------K
Bytes------
ID Read Write Read Write Read
Written
160C65 0 102 23 4 5503
193791669
It appears that this tape should have been retired. Last night we got a
media error on a different tape. I did the PRTERRORLOG on it this morning
and got:
Volume --Temporary Error-- ----Perm Error----- ------K
Bytes------
ID Read Write Read Write Read
Written
304748 0 1 0 0 240
194211057
This tape only had one error against it. Is there a rule of thumb as to
when tapes should be trashed? Is one error too many? It is my
understanding that the drive is supposed to automatically clean itself
although I manually took the option to clean it a couple of weeks ago. Any
ideas?
