This is almost always a sign that the tape drive is going bad. We've had
that with LTO 3 drives in our library. Tapes would start be declared as
bad. We would have them replace the drive and it would go away.
Occasionally we would INZTAP with a CLEAR(*YES) just to ensure it was good
after the drive replacement. I think I could count the number of tapes we
threw away as bad on one hand.
I can't tell you what tape drives are currently compatible with your
system. Sorry. No alternatives to recommend. And, if it's too new yet
still supported on V5R1 it may have needed a certain PTF level. I've
heard that PTF's can be a bit tough to order for V5R1.
