The diagnose information for Error 6: Tape drive or media error.
The tape drive determined that an error occurred, but it cannot isolate the error to faulty hardware or to the tape cartridge. Ensure the tape cartridge is the correct media type:
v Ultrium -1 tape cartridges are not supported in Ultrium-4 tape drives.
v Drive will not accept an expired Cleaning Cartridge.
v Drive will not accept a WORM cartridge when running diagnostic tests in Maintenance Mode.
v Drive will not write over existing datasets on a WORM cartridge. Ensure you are appending datasets on WORM media rather than attempting to write over existing datasets.
If the tape cartridge is the correct media type, perform the following action:
For Problems with Writing Data:
If the problem occurred while the tape drive was writing data to the tape, retry the operation with a different cartridge:
v If the operation succeeds, the original cartridge was defective. Copy data from the defective cartridge and discard it.
v If the operation fails and another tape drive is available, insert the cartridge into the other unit and retry the operation.
– If the operation fails, discard the defective cartridge.
– If the operation succeeds, insert a scratch data cartridge into the first unit and run “Function Code 1: Run Drive Diagnostics” on page 3-10.
- If the diagnostics fail, replace the tape drive.
- If the diagnostics succeed, the error was temporary.
v If the operation fails and another tape drive is not available, insert a scratch data cartridge into the unit and run “Function Code 1: Run Drive Diagnostics” on page 3-10.
– If the diagnostics fail, replace the tape drive.
– If the diagnostics succeed, discard the cartridge.
If the problem occurs with multiple tape cartridges, run “Function Code 1: Run Drive Diagnostics” on page 3-10:
v If the diagnostics fail, replace the tape drive.
v If the diagnostics succeed, run“Function Code H: Test Head” on page 3-18.
– If the diagnostic fails, replace the tape drive.
– If the diagnostic succeeds, replace the cartridges that caused the problem.The error code clears when you remove the tape cartridge or place the tape drive in maintenance mode.
For Problems with Reading Data:
If the problem occurred while the tape drive was reading data from the tape, perform one of the following procedures:
v If another tape drive is available, insert the cartridge into the other unit and retry the operation: – If the operation fails, discard the defective cartridge.
– If the operation succeeds, insert a scratch data cartridge into the first unit and run “Function Code 1: Run Drive Diagnostics” on page 3-10:
- If the diagnostic fails, replace the tape drive.
- If the diagnostic succeeds, the error was temporary.
v If another tape drive is not available, insert a scratch data cartridge into the unit and run “Function Code 1: Run Drive Diagnostics” on page 3-10:
– If the diagnostic fails, replace the tape drive.
– If the diagnostic succeeds, discard the cartridge.
If the problem occurs with multiple tape cartridges, run “Function Code 1: Run Drive Diagnostics” on page 3-10:
v If the diagnostic fails, replace the tape drive.
v If the diagnostic succeeds, run “Function Code H: Test Head” on page 3-18.
– If the diagnostic fails, replace the tape drive.
– If the diagnostic succeeds, replace the cartridges that caused the problem.
The error code clears when you remove the tape cartridge or place the tape drive in maintenance mode.
Good Luck! |
