Dave, The tape numbers are different by media type, but those numbers don't sound bad.

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?

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?
