I could help you more, if you send the specific output from "errpt -a"
about this tape drive error.

Best Regards,

Alexandre Kazuo Sato.

        Subject: Tape Drive Failure

We are having intermittent tape drive failures during
the nightly data backup. An errpt is generated each
time saying probable causes are 'TAPE DRIVE'. The
drive and all the media has been replaced since this
began happening, two months ago, but it continues.
The drive is a 4mm DDS2, the box is a J40 running AIX
4.3.2. Any troubleshooting suggestions? TIA.
