I am trying to re use tapes from Backup Exec with Tivoli 5.1.5. This is a proof of concept server. It has a single manual DLT drive to use. Many of the Automated library commands are unavailable with this manual drive. When I try to label the tape using the GUI wizard it notifies me the tape is write protected. But it is not physically write protected. I was able to successfully use a new DLT tape. Does anyone know of some type of low level format for these tapes? Or way to force this. I am running TSM on a windows 2000 server with the drive internal. This is a temporary environment until we get our real environment up and running for TSM.
