Hex Description
Cod
e
26h A hardware failure of the tape
drive is predicted. Call the tape
drive supplier helpline.
27h The tape drive might have
a fault. Check for availability
of diagnostic information and
run extended diagnostics if
applicable. Check the tape drive
user's manual for instructions
on running extended diagnostic
tests and retrieving diagnostic
data.
31h Set when Native Capacity is
diminished.
33h Set when the tape directory
on the tape cartridge that was
previously unloaded is corrupted.
The file-search performance is
degraded.
34h Set when the tape cartridge
that was previously unloaded
cannot write its system area
successfully.
35h Set when the tape system area
cannot be read successfully at
load time.
37h The operation failed because the
media cannot be loaded and
threaded.
38h The operation failed because the
media cannot be unloaded.
3Bh Set when the drive determines
that the data on tape is suspect
from a WORM point of view.
3Ch Set when the drive rejects a write
operation because the rules for
allowing WORM writes are not
met. Data can be appended only
to WORM media. Overwrites to
WORM media are not allowed.
Action Required
Predictive failure of drive
hardware
The drive might have a failure
that can be identified by stored
diagnostic information or by
running extended diagnostics
(Send Diagnostics).
No action is required.
Informational message only.
Use your backup software to
rebuild the tape directory by
reading all the data.
Copy the data to another tape
cartridge, and discard the old
cartridge.
Copy the data to another tape
cartridge, and discard the old
cartridge.
Remove the tape and try another.
If the problem persists, contact
®
your IBM service representative.
Ensure that tape drive firmware
is at the latest version. See
Appendix A, "Minimum firmware
levels for common library
features," on page 182.
®
Contact your IBM service
representative.
1. Copy the data to another
WORM tape cartridge.
2. Discard the faulty WORM
tape.
Write the data to a WORM tape
cartridge or write the data to a
non-WORM tape cartridge.
