If the tape ejected, use the Read/Write test and the
Device Analysis test in L&TT with new media to check
that the drive is now working normally.
NOTE:
Due to issues in development Library and Tape
Tools cannot be reliably used to diagnose
potential issues with the DAT 40 Hotplug drive
(Q1546A only). This problem is currently being
investigated and will be corrected in the next
revision of Library and Tape tools. This note
will be updated once the problem has been
corrected but until then do not use Library and
Tape Tools to diagnose issues with this
product. This problem only relates to the
Q1546A product, no other DAT 40 variants are
affected.
