The WWN of the drive is location-dependent and not device-dependent. That is, each time that the drive is reset or powered on, the library reestablishes the WWN so that a drive in Slot x always keeps the same WWN, even if the drive is replaced.
For maximum performance, multiple SCSI buses may be required (see “Using Multiple SCSI Buses”), and IBM Ultrium Tape Drives must be the only target devices that are active on the bus. Note: For maximum performance, the quantity of tape drives that you can attach to one SCSI bus is limited, and is based on the type of bus that you have and the amount of data compression achieved.

Certain built-in security measures help ensure that the data written on a WORM cartridge does not become compromised, for example: v The format of an IBM Ultrium 3 400 GB WORM Tape Cartridge is unlike that of standard read/write media. This unique format prevents a drive that lacks WORM-capable firmware from writing on a WORM tape cartridge.
To remove a cleaning cartridge from its designated cleaning slot, export it from the library. The IBM Cleaning Cartridges are valid for 50 uses. The cartridge’s LTO-CM chip tracks the number of times that the cartridge is used. Cartridge Memory Chip (LTO-CM)
Tape cartridges can be ordered with the labels included or with custom labels. To order tape cartridges and bar code labels, see “Ordering Media Supplies” on page 9-18. The bar code for usage in IBM tape libraries must meet predefined specifications. They include (but are not limited to):...
Guidelines for Using Bar Code Labels Apply the following guidelines whenever using bar code labels: v Use only IBM-approved bar code labels on cartridges to be used in an IBM tape library. v Do not reuse a label or reapply a used label over an existing label.
Incorrect handling or an incorrect environment can damage cartridges or their magnetic tape. To avoid damage to your tape cartridges and to ensure the continued high reliability of your IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Drives, use the following guidelines: v Do not drop the cartridge. If the cartridge drops, slide the cartridge door back and ensure that the leader pin is properly seated in the pin-retaining spring clips in Figure 9-8 on page 9-11).
v Do not stack more than six cartridges. v Do not degauss a cartridge that you intend to reuse. Degaussing makes the tape unusable. Provide Training v Post procedures that describe proper media handling in places where people gather. v Ensure that anyone who handles tape has been properly trained in handling and shipping procedures.
– Double-box the cartridge (place it inside a box, then place that box inside the shipping box) and add padding between the two boxes (see Figure 9-6). Figure 9-6. Double-boxing tape cartridges for shipping Provide Proper Acclimation and Environmental Conditions v Before using a cartridge, let it acclimate to the normal operating environment for 1 hour.
Perform the following steps: 1. Look for cartridge mishandling. 2. Use the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit (part number 08L9129) to correctly seat the pin (see “Repositioning a Leader Pin” on page 9-11). Then, immediately use data recovery procedures to minimize chances of data loss.
If the leader pin in your cartridge becomes dislodged from its pin-retaining spring clips or detaches from the tape, you must use the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit (part number 08L9129) to reposition or reattach it. (Do not reattach the pin if you must remove more than seven meters (23 feet) of leader tape.) The sections...

Figure 9-11). Leader pins and C-clips. Figure 9-11. Leader Pin Reattachment Kit Attention: v Use only the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit to reattach the leader pin to the tape. Other methods of reattaching the pin will damage the tape, the drive, or both.
Figure 9-12. Attaching the leader pin attach tool to the cartridge. To hold the cartridge door open, hook the tool into the door and pull the tool back. 2. To find the end of the tape inside the cartridge, attach the cartridge manual rewind tool ( in Figure 9-13 on page 9-15) to the cartridge’s hub 2 by fitting the tool’s teeth between the teeth of the hub.
Page 185
Figure 9-13. Winding the tape out of the cartridge. Turn the cartridge manual rewind tool clockwise to see the end of the tape, then turn it counterclockwise to bring the tape to the cartridge door. 5. On the leader pin ( in Figure 9-14), locate the open side of the C-clip ( in Figure 9-14).
Note: Use care to ensure that the tape is centered over the leader pin. Failure to properly center the tape on the pin will cause the repaired cartridge to fail. When the tape is properly centered, a 0.25-mm (0.01-in.) gap exists on both sides of the pin.
Environmental and Shipping Specifications for Tape Cartridges Before you use a tape cartridge, acclimate it to the operating environment for a minimum of24 hours or the time necessary to prevent condensation in the drive (the time will vary, depending on the environmental extremes to which the cartridge was exposed).
Supply Item Methods of Ordering IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data v Order the cartridge from your IBM Sales Representative or any Cartridge authorized IBM Business Partner by specifying Machine Type 3589 Model 009. Specify the VOLSER characters that you want.
The IBM TotalStorage Tape Drive does not require cartridge bar code labels. Ifyou use your data cartridges or cleaning cartridges in an IBM tape library product, you may need cartridge bar code labels if your tape library product requires them.

T073: I/O Storage Door Open Description Certain IO doors can be designated as storage slots. When one of these doors is open, the system should not become operational because these storage slots would not be available to the robot. The ticket is posted as a means of informing the user that the library cannot become operational and that they should close the door so the system can lock it and start using it.
T075: Unsupported Module Configuration Description The current level of library firmware does not support the module configuration as detected by scanned module serial number labels. The causes for this ticket will likely change over time as new valid configurations are added to the system.
T077: I/O Station Partially Open or Unplugged Description This ticket is specifically designed to report the problem that would occur if the cable connecting any of the I/O stations is unplugged. Hardware limitations make it such that and unplugged I/O and a partially open I/O cannot be distinguished from one another.
Root Causes 1. A Library Control Blade is improperly swapped into a different physical chassis and the system reads the physical chassis label. 2. A CM chassis FRU is replaced in an already configured system 3. A previously detected and configured EM is removed completely from a vertical stack of modules.
Detection Scenario 1. The robot cannot move to its Y-axis parking position after homing in Y because the front of the Y Carriage hits the floor. Parking position is below homing position. 2. Front and back magazine fiducial positions on the left side are not at the same Y level.
Root Causes 1. User removes cartridge manually instead of via export cleaning media GUI functionality. 2. Bar code label on a system cleaning cartridge is not read during inventory. 3. Any scenario where a properly imported system cleaning cartridge which has not yet been properly exported is detected to be missing based on library inventory operations.
If there is no cartridge in the Picker when you investigate, it is likely that the cartridge present sensor in the Picker is malfunctioning. Before contacting IBM Technical Support, refer to “Diagnosing a Problem” on page 10-2 for additional diagnostic procedures.
DR002: Manually Recover Tape from Source or Destination Slot Problem The library robot (Picker assembly) has failed during a move media. The cartridge must be manually recovered before operations should be continued. Troubleshooting Step: 1. Open the main Access Door(s) and find the cartridge. It may be stranded between the Picker and the source or destination of the move.
4. Select Tools → Service → Library → Robotics to determine if the failure is permanent. v If the test fails, contact IBM Technical Support (see “Contacting IBM Technical Support” on page 10-17). v If the test passes, monitor for reoccurrence.
1. Check the facility AC power and the power supply power switch. 2. Correct them if necessary and Close the Operator Intervention. 3. If the facility AC power and the power supply power switch are OK, contact IBM Technical Support ( see “Contacting IBM Technical Support” on page 10-17).
DR011: I/E (I/O Station) Lock Diagnostic (a Library Verify Test) Problem: The library cannot lock or unlock the I/O Station in module n. Troubleshooting Steps: To proceed with troubleshooting the library should be taken out of service. v All host operations should be quiesced by the user. v All logical libraries should be taken offline.
3. Check all hardware components between host and drive are communicating correctly. 4. Check host HBA and components are communicating correctly. 5. If problem remains unresolved, before contacting IBM Technical Support, refer to “Diagnosing a Problem” on page 10-2 for additional diagnostic procedures.
DR018: Manually Clean Drive Problem: A drive has reported that it requires cleaning. This problem should be addressed differently based on your system setup. Troubleshooting Steps: There are two cases to consider: 1. Library controlled or host controlled cleaning is enabled. When this problem is reported, the cleaning process should have already been triggered if there was a valid, not expired cleaning cartridge available.
If you have recently removed a power supply from the library, replace it and Close this Operator Intervention. If all power supplies appear to be present, see “Contacting IBM Technical Support” on page 10-17 for possible power supply hardware replacement.
4. Use the Tools → Service → Library → Robot Test to exercise the robot and verify that the obstruction is cleared. v If the test fails, contact IBM Technical Support for further troubleshooting. Refer to “Contacting IBM Technical Support” on page 10-17.
2. If any disconnected cables are discovered, plug them in and close all main access doors. The robot automatically attempt to initialize. 3. If no problem is found or the robot still fails, contact IBM Technical Support. 11-43 Chapter 11. Service Action Tickets (Txxx) and Diagnostic Resolutions (DRxxx)
30 seconds. Re-insert the drive and tighten the thumbscrews. 3. The library should now attempt to discover and initialize the drive again. 4. If this second attempt to establish the drive firmware level fails, contact IBM Technical Support (see “Contacting IBM Technical Support” on page 10-17.
3. If none of the doors appear partially open and cables are connected, use the I/O Station test under the Tools → Service → Library menu to test the function of the I/O Station. 4. If problem persists, refer to “Contacting IBM Technical Support” on page 10-17. DR039: Logical Library Deletion Required...
DR041: Check Robot Installation Problem: The library has detected a condition that indicates the Robot Assembly has been installed incorrectly. The Robot travels on rack gears located at the front and rear of the library. If the Robot is installed into the rack gears with one end higher or lower than the other, the Robot may not function properly.
DR044: Tape Alert 4 Media Error Problem: The tape cartridge is suspected due to failing tape operations. Data may be at risk based on the condition of the tape. This problem may be caused by: v the specific tape v the specific drive v the interaction of the tape and drive Troubleshooting Steps: 1.
Troubleshooting Steps: 1. Attempting invalid operations with a cleaning cartridge may cause this problem. If the cartridge is a cleaning cartridge, remove it from the host application inventory of valid data cartridges. 2. If the cartridge is new, the tape may not have been formatted by the cartridge manufacturer.
Troubleshooting Steps: 1. Stop all additional host operations to this drive. 2. If a cartridge is still mounted in the drive, unload it using the host application or library operator interface. 3. Using the local library operator interface, take the drive offline with the Operations → Drive →...
