I have been erasing old DLT 40/80 tapes in my new
DLT 40/80 drives using the "quick erase plus"
method.
The tape drives are on NW 5.1 SP2 servers running
Arcserve 6.6/IT.
The problem is that sometimes after erasing the
tapes, when I look in the tape status window the
tape appears as write protected. If I go back
and run the erase plus again it comes up ok.
However, If I put one these erased tapes that now
appear as Blank, into a server that is requesting
a blank tape for an autopilot job the tape does
not work, it just comes up as write protected and
therefore the job does not continue until I put
in a brand new blank tape.
Has anyone else had this problem? or does anyone
have any suggestions on why this might be
happening and how to resolve the issue?
