I have a lot of problems with frozen tapes on netbackup 6.5 giving the following error message.
"could not write tape mark to begin new image "
The FE's have run the wrt/rd test on all drives without errors . It also happens on new tapes.
Any thoughts

We need a few more details I think ...

What is the o/s
When did the issue start
Did anything change (drivers, firmware, os patch etc ...)
Is this on all drives
Anything in the logs :

o/s sys log
bptm (VERBOSE = 5 in bp.conf)
ltid (VERBOSE in vm.conf)
tpcommand

Re-start mm services
