I am sorry, I did not see you are using stk9710. I am using IBM 3494.
'mtlib' utility in AIX level is the tool, to check out you have it or not,
in AIX, type "mtlib -l" see what happen.
If you have that utility every thing is going to be fine. I used this
utility to fix the problem (I am using IBM MAGAstar 3494, AIX 4.3.3, TSM
3.7, 4.1)
If you don't have it, you can chekin a new scratch tape, and do the db
backup. if that works, the scratch tape has the catgory problem.
I can give you the cmd if your using mtlib.
let me know
George
