Error description
When using a pre-labeled WORM tape, the server fails to account for a situation where the pre-label is non-conforming to expected standards. It is expected that the following elements are present in a pre-labeled tape: VOL1, HDR1, HDR2, filemark The problem situation was encountered when the following was presented: VOL1, filemark, filemark After writing data to this tape, subsequent attempts to read data result in the following I/O error: ANR8302E I/O error on drive DRV1_T10KW (/dev/mt1) with volume TAPE123 (OP=FSR, Error Number=5, CC=409, rc = 2868, KEY= 80, ASC=00, ASCQ= 01,~SENSE=F0.00.80.00.00.00.01.12.00.00.00.00.00.01.00.00.00.00. 00.00.00.00.00.00.12.02.,~Description=Media fault). Refer to the Tivoli Storage Manager documentation on I/O error code descriptions.~~~ Due to the additional filemark, the server is unable to position to the location of the data on the tape. The server should have validated the internal label and required that the tape be re-labeled prior to initial usage. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: 7.1.x.x and higher IBM Spectrum Protect Server on all platforms Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: WORM

Problem conclusion
This problem was fixed. Affected platform: AIX, HP, Linux, Solaris, and Windows. ANR8890E The label for WORM volume XXX in drive YYY does not comply with IBM standards. Explanation The label has only an HDR1 block and lacks other required blocks. The label also includes two file marks. Because the label does not comply with IBM standards, operations to restore data to the volume will fail. SystemAction The server can back up data from the volume. However, the server cannot restore data to the volume. UserResponse To use the specified volume with the server, you must overwrite the label with a new label in IBM standard format. Relabel the volume by issuing the LABEL LIBVOLUME command. Restriction: A WORM tape volume can be relabeled only if it is a scratch volume.
