The Robot Times Out Or Hangs; The Robot Fails During An Operation; The Robot Drops A Cartridge; A Cartridge Is In The Picker At Start-Up, When A Move Command Is Requested, Or After A Place Command Is Executed - HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series User Manual

The robot times out or hangs

• Verify that nothing obstructs the robot.
• Recalibrate the library.
• Retry the operation. If it still fails, contact a field service engineer.

The robot fails during an operation

• Write down the details of the error message, including the SK, ASC, and ASCQ numeric values.
Look up the code and try the suggested recovery procedures.
• Press OK to clear the message.

The robot drops a cartridge

• Open the doors. Retrieve the cartridge, orient it properly, and place the cartridge in an empty
storage bin. (Do not try to place the cartridge in the picker.)
• Perform an inventory.
NOTE:
If the operator manually places a cartridge in an empty bin, he must then run an inventory so the library
records the position of the manually-placed cartridge.
A cartridge is in the picker at start-up, when a move command is requested, or
after a place command is executed
• If possible, initiate a Move Cartridge command from the picker to a storage slot using your
application software.
• If the problem continues, contact a field service engineer.

The picker does not have a cartridge after completing a pick command

• Make sure a cartridge can be found in the source location.
• Perform an inventory.
• Retry the command. If the pick operation fails again, contact a field service engineer.

Operating problems

This section describes the corrective action for problems that occur during library operation.

The host computer cannot communicate with the library

• Verify that the host computer has been added to the secure manager via the Command View TL
software, and has been given access to library components.
• Verify cable connections and termination.
• Verify that the FC port link LEDs show good status.
• Restart the host and the library.
• If the host and library still are not communicating, verify that there is not a zoning issue.

A tape cartridge (medium) is reported not present

• This indicates that the picker could not sense a tape cartridge in a particular storage bin, even
though the inventory reports that it is present.
