1. Try another tape. Depending on your source for tapes, we have experienced
1 in 10 bad 3590 tapes. Sent them back and got a replacement.
2. If multiple tapes are bad, call service. (bad drive G)

Yes, they are write enabled... One of the first things I double

Use ... TAPE WVOL1 ... to re-initialize the tapes.

Perchance was this 3590C tape degaussed?
I seem to remember earlier (years ago) posts about 3590's becoming
expensive paperweights on VM systems when they were degaussed and there
was no neighboring, friendly z/OS system nearby to re-init them.

The TAPE WVOL1 gives me the same error...
I just took one of the z/OS tapes that they have inited
(IEHINITT) and I was able to write to it fine... (Of course
now they have to reinint it ;-) Lee

Lee,
Have the Z/OS folks run IEHINITT on
Well - yeah - but that's not really solving the problem.. you shouldn't
need z/OS to initiliaze tapes. I mean - this 'is' the z/VM list ;-)

It does appear that if you have either brand new or degaussed 3590
tapes, you need an extra priced feature to initialize them.. Which
feature? Why z/OS of course...
Sigh...
Thanks for all the advice/suggestions...

New tapes can be initialized or not. If ordering from IBM or an
IBM-authorized dealer, you order 3599-xxx. Whether the tape are
