Verify Test)" on page 11-36.
Before replacing a library component, refer to "Diagnosing
a Problem" on page 10-2 for additional diagnostic
procedures.
There is a fixed bar code label location on the I/O
Station structure behind the removable magazines. It
decodes as %XXX. The purpose of the label is to allow
the library to detect that an I/O Station magazine is not
installed. This is important on I/O Station magazines,
because they are user removable. While performing an
inventory of the I/O Station magazines, the library ends
up verifying the presence of the magazine by NOT
detecting this special fixed label.
Any time the library attempts to inventory an I/O
Station magazine, it will read the fixed label if a
magazine is missing. I/O Station magazines are always
expected to be present.
1. Missing I/O Station magazine
2. A cartridge in an I/O Station just happens to have a
label that decodes as "%XXX".
Note: The inability to communicate between the Library
Control Blade and the bar code scanner should result in
a different ticket cause.

page 11-41.
When the library is attempting to determine the type of a
drive and verify its physical presence in the library, it
cannot do so because it cannot read a label where it
expects to find one.
1. Installation of a drive into a library drive slot triggers
the library to discover it.
2. Boot up causes the library to physically discover any
drive that is electrically connected in the system.
1. Damaged label or marginal label that cannot be read
2. Drive with invalid label is present (earlier generation
of plug compatible drive sled)
