Action
This code is not related to a drive or microcode
problem. It is related to the operating environment
and requires additional investigation. Contact
Spectra Logic Technical Support (see Contacting
Spectra Logic on page 7).
Perform the following:
1. If possible, use ITDT to collect a drive dump file
(see Use the IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool (ITDT) to
Retrieve a Drive Dump on page 362).
If you cannot use ITDT, use the BlueScale user
interface to collect a drive trace file (see Use the
Drive Traces Button on page 360).
2. Reset the drive (see Resetting a Drive on page 354),
then retry the operation that produced the error.
3. If the problem persists, contact Spectra Logic
Technical Support and send the drive trace file to
them, if requested (see Contacting Spectra Logic on
page 7).
Note:
The error code clears when you reset or
power cycle the drive.
