Giuseppe, Look at: -Drive mapping. Your client might think it needs to write to another drive then to what the TSM server have mounted the tape. -There is a new redpiece/redbook about LTO and SAN that you should look at (SG24-6268-00). In that book there are also some info regarding persistent mapping that might be an area that you should look at. -Make sure that you have the latest device drivers for the tape drives, it also sounds that you need to upgrade to a later version of TSM 4.2.X too as I recall that the version you are running can create data corruption with lanfree.
