Problem:
When a DDS3 tape is used with an IBM 4/10GB 4mm DAT SCSI Tape Drive, the contents of the tape backup are lost
when the tape is ejected from the tape drive.
Solution:
The IBM 4/10GB 4mm DAT SCSI Tape Drives (Option p/n 74G8631 for the 5.25" form factor drive, and Option p/n 74G8632 for the 3.5" form factor drive) should not be used with a DDS3 tape cartridge. If a DDS3 tape is used with the 4/10GB 4mm DAT drives, the drives will not be able to read the information from a DDS3 cartridge once the cartridge has been ejected from the 4/10GB 4mm tape drive. If a tape cartridge is required for the 4mm 4/10GB tape drive, use a 4mm 120m DDS2 tape cartridge. If a tape cartridge is required for the 12/24GB 4mm DDS3 SCSI tape drive, use a 4mm 125m DDS3 tape cartridge. Refer to the following document 
if a data or cleaning cartridge is required for your IBM Tape Drive.
