Description
Set when a failure occurs that requires
the tape cartridge to be unloaded from
the drive.
Set when an FMR image is
unsuccessfully downloaded to the tape
drive via the SAS interface.
Set when the drive temperature sensor
indicates that the drive's temperature
exceeds the recommended temperature
of the library.
Set when the drive detects power
supply voltages that approach or
exceed the specified voltage limits.
Set when a hardware failure of the tape
drive is predicted.
Set when the tape drive detects a failure
that requires diagnostics for isolation.
Set when the tape directory on the tape
cartridge that was previously unloaded
is corrupted. The file-search
performance is degraded.
Set when the tape cartridge that was
previously unloaded could not write its
system area successfully.
Set when the tape system area could not
be read successfully at load time.
Set when a hardware malfunction
prevents the tape cartridge from being
loaded into the drive, or when a tape
cartridge is stuck in the drive.
Action Required
Unload the tape cartridge, then reinsert
and restart the operation. If this fails, use
different media.
Check the FMR image is correct. If
necessary, download the correct FMR
image.

Use your backup software to rebuild the
tape directory by reading all the data.
Copy the data to another tape cartridge,
then discard the old tape cartridge.
Copy the data to another tape cartridge,
then discard the old tape cartridge.
If the tape cartridge will not load in the
drive:
1. Remove the tape cartridge from the
library and inspect it for damage. If
damaged, discard it.
2. Insert another tape cartridge into the
tape drive. If the problem persists, see
"Contacting IBM Technical Support"
on page 7-1.
If the tape cartridge is stuck in the drive:
1. Attempt to unload the tape from the
drive using the host backup
application that is currently using the
drive, or via the remote or local UI.
2. If the cartridge will still not unload,
see "Contacting IBM Technical
Support" on page 7-1.
