4. Insert a scratch (blank) data cartridge that is not write protected (or the tape
drive exits maintenance mode). The SCD changes to a flashing
. The tape
drive copies the FMR data to the scratch data cartridge.
v If the tape drive creates the FMR tape successfully, it rewinds and unloads
the new tape, exits Maintenance Mode, and the tape is ready to use .
v If the tape drive fails to create the FMR tape, it displays an error code. To
determine the error, see “Drive Error Codes” on page D-41. The tape drive
then unloads the FMR tape, and exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge
is removed.
Function Code 4: Force a Drive Dump
Function Code
performs a dump of data collected by the drive (this process is
also known as saving a microcode trace).
1. Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see “Entering
Maintenance Mode” on page D-27.
2. Press the Unload Button once per second until
appears in the SCD. (If you
cycle past the desired code, press the Unload Button once per second until the
code reappears.)
3. Press and hold the Unload Button for three or more seconds, then release it to
select the function. The drive performs the dump. The SCD shows
, then
goes blank. To access the contents of the dump, see “Function Code 5: Copy
Drive Dump.”
Note: You can also force a drive dump when the tape drive is in normal
operating mode. Simply press and hold the Unload Button for ten
seconds. This causes the drive to reboot.
Function Code 5: Copy Drive Dump
Function Code
copies data from a drive dump (captured in Function Code 4)
to the beginning of a scratch (blank) data cartridge.
Attention: For this function, insert only a scratch (blank) data cartridge or a
cartridge that may be overwritten. During the test, the drive overwrites the data on
the cartridge.
Note: If you inserted an invalid tape cartridge (e.g. Gen 1, WORM media, or
non-FMR cartridge), error code
appears in the SCD and the amber Fault
status light flashes. If you inserted a write-protected cartridge, or the media
has read-only compatibility (e.g., Gen2 media), error code
appears in the
SCD. Press the Unload Button. The tape drive unloads the cartridge and
exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is removed.
1. Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see “Entering
Maintenance Mode” on page D-27.
