Why is my Fujitsu ETERNUS LT60 S2 performance so bad?
- C
  Calvin CrawfordAug 14, 2025
  Poor Fujitsu Storage performance can stem from several factors. Try using a new cartridge, as a marginal one can cause performance issues due to bad spots on the tape. Backing up data that compresses poorly or is already compressed can lower performance. Small file sizes can also impact performance. Confirm that your backup application uses block sizes of at least 32KB, preferably 64KB, referring to its documentation for details. Check the network bandwidth from the host computer, comparing to a local-only backup if backing up over a network. Ensure the backup server has enough memory to handle the backup or restore bandwidth. Cleaning the tape drive may also help.

What to do if I cannot write to or read from tape on Fujitsu Storage?

  If you cannot write to or read from tape on your Fujitsu Storage, ensure the cartridge is write-enabled by moving the write-protect switch. Verify you're using the appropriate data cartridge for your library model and that it hasn't been degaussed. Ultrium cartridges should not be degaussed. Check that the cartridge hasn't been exposed to harsh conditions or physically damaged. If the cartridge was created using a different backup application, you may need to erase, format, or label it. Understand any data protection or overwrite protection schemes your backup application uses. Retry with a known good tape and consider cleaning the tape drive.

How to eject a tape stuck in Fujitsu Storage drive?
- E
  Elizabeth CarpenterAug 27, 2025
  If a tape is stuck in the drive of your Fujitsu Storage, power cycle the library and allow it to complete initialization (which can take up to 10 minutes). Then, retry unloading the tape using the library operator control panel. Allow the tape drive to complete all operations, which may take up to ten minutes if the library was reset while the cartridge was positioned at the physical end of the media. Ensure that the backup software isn't reserving the slot or preventing the tape drive from ejecting the cartridge. Temporarily disconnect the library from the host server and power cycle to eliminate the host as the problem source.

What to do if cleaning or data cartridge is incompatible with Fujitsu ETERNUS LT60 S2 Storage drive?
- J
  John LeeAug 30, 2025
  If a cleaning or data cartridge is incompatible with your Fujitsu Storage drive, make sure you are using cartridges that are compatible with the drive and model of your library. The library automatically unloads incompatible cartridges, the Media Attention LED flashes, and an exclamation mark (!) is displayed in the inventory display for the indicated slot number. Export the media to clear the state.

How to identify bad, defective, or contaminated media in Fujitsu ETERNUS LT60 S2?
- A
  Alicia WilsonSep 3, 2025
  If the Media Attention LED clears but immediately reappears each time a particular cartridge is reloaded after cleaning the drive, suspect that cartridge is defective. Export the cartridge and load a known good cartridge. In some cases, a cartridge can be worn out, have a defective Cartridge Memory, or have been formatted as a Firmware Upgrade Cartridge. Any cartridge suspected of being defective or contaminated should not be reused in any drive.
