T039: Drive TapeAlert Flag 12 - Unsupported Format
Description System determines that the drive has issued a TapeAlert 12
indicating that the media loaded is an unsupported format.
In the case of the IBM LTO family of drives, full backward
read and write compatibility stopped when LTO 3 was
introduced. LTO 3 cannot write in LTO 1 format. Therefore
an LTO 1 tape is an unsupported format when trying to
write to it with an LTO 3 drive.
Detection Scenarios Tape drive issues a TapeAlert 12 which is recognized by
the library during the continuous four second polling cycle
of drive status.
Root Causes Drive has determined that there is a problem per its
internal algorithms.
Possible CRU Replacements Tape Cartridge
Resolution Perform “DR015: Unsupported Format Diagnostic” on page
10-35.
T040: Drive TapeAlert Flag 15 - MIC Chip Failure
Description System determines that the drive has issued a TapeAlert 15
indicating that MIC (memory in cassette) of the media
loaded is not working properly.
Detection Scenarios Tape drive issues a TapeAlert 15 which is recognized by
the library during the continuous four second polling cycle
of drive status.
Root Causes Drive has determined that there is a problem per its
internal algorithms.
Possible CRU Replacements Tape Cartridge
Resolution If the cartridge is manage by a host application, export the
cartridge via the host application.
If the cartridge is managed by the library, perform the
following:
v Remove the suspect cartridge (see “Exporting a Data
Cartridge” on page 7-15 or “Exporting a Cleaning
Cartridge” on page 7-16).
v Import a new cartridge (see “Importing Data Cartridges”
on page 7-15 or “Importing a Cleaning Cartridge” on
page 7-16).
T041: Drive TapeAlert Flag 16 - Forced Eject
Description System determines that the drive has issued a TapeAlert 16
indicating that an unload of a drive was triggered while
the drive was actively reading or writing. The source of the
unload can be either an operator initiated manual push
button on the drive itself or a GUI initiated command.
Detection Scenarios Tape drive issues a TapeAlert 16 which is recognized by
the library during the continuous four second polling cycle
of drive status.
