A502: SDLT Loader Communication Error
SuperLoader User’s Guide 205
Cause 5 This error could be due to one or more of the following:
• A bad spot on the media
• A failure of the drive to determine the data read from the tape was
good due to bad CRC
Suggested
Actions 5
Following is a list of suggested actions:
• Check the Media IDs. Multiple Media IDs may indicate the drive is
the problem. Similar media IDs may indicate the media is the
problem.
• Use a cleaning tape and try the same media again. Then try different
media before indicating the drive as the failure.
• Run a Tape Drive Write/Read test with two pieces of media. If test
fails, replace the DCA.
