Error description
Tivoli Storage Manager server version 6.2.4, 6.2.5, 6.3.0, 6.3.1, and 6.3.2 do not initialize the logical block protection volume attribute for tape volumes created with tape devices that are supported by the Tivoli Storage Manager device driver. As a result, Tivoli Storage Manager version 6.3.3 users may not be able to restore data or append data to tapes that were created with Tivoli Storage Manager server version 6.2.4, 6.2.5, 6.3.0, 6.3.1, and 6.3.2.
Local fix
For Tivoli Storage Manager version 6.3.3 users: If you are unable to restore data, move data to another volume in the same storage pool. If you are unable to append data to a volume, mark the volume read-only. The Tivoli Storage Manager server will pick a new scratch volume for writing.
