I have several tapes that TSM keeps switching the
ACCESS from 'READWRITE' to 'READONLY' because of media

Please advise.
TIA

If the tapes are suspect, you can do an 'audit volume' on them, to verify
the data is good. If the audit comes back clean, do a 'move data' on the
failing tape(s), then remove the media from service. If the tape hardware is
at fault or suspected, repair the hardware, then check the tapes with an

If you have a hardware failure on one of your drives it can mark all
tapes that is mounted in it as READONLY. Happend to me once or
I've got a pretty simple question:
some of my tapes are automatically turning to READ ONLY state. That's cool
I assume the server detects a read/write error, then sets the tape to READ
ONLY.

1. Not that I know of. However you can do it manually with the
Update Volume Command.
2. One way I do is to use the actlog:
q actlog begind=-1 search=i/o
This will show any I/O errors in last day. You can search
on other specific message numbers of other patterns/words.

Yes, there is. It can happen if you have a drive whose element ID mapping

We use 9840 cartridges manufactured by Imation, similar to IBM 3590 tapes.
For our company, Imation will replace the cartridges that are defective as a

I always throught that Tivoli said the tape(s) could not be read by anyone

One additional note on disposal: the tapes
contain chromium, a carcinogenic heavy metal that must be disposed of as
hazardous waste in the United States.
I just took a look at the storage products section of IBM's Web site. This
includes softcopy of G225-6759-02, a brochure on 3590 media.

You should also look at the RESTORE VOLUME command which will attempt to
recreate your primary storage pool volume (on a different volume) from copy
pool volumes.

You have to let ADSM know a tape is bad or destroyed, and eventually

It has been so long that I don't even know how to spell CA-1 TMS but are you
sure you have 200 bad tapes or a bad drive that has had I/O errors and ADSM
marked the tapes as bad. I keep a log of my bad tapes in my STK 9710 library
