One thing to remember is to use different volume id's on each and every
tape. Those of us who came from the S/36 often got into the habit of
naming them all the same, like IBMIRD or some thing we used to label the
diskettes. However if you label them differently, and use PRTERRLOG on a
daily basis then you can see if it's one or two particular tapes that need
replacing. I reset the statistics daily with VOLSTAT and only look for
those with errors. Someone off list once set me a link to acceptable
error rates. I also used these, after some serious purging of Domino
data, to realize that we no longer needed to load two tape volumes, in
fact, it was so low on the first tape that the risk of going to the second
was nonexistent.
This VOLSTAT report gets emailed to me every morning. A message filter
stores it in it's own directory.
