Problems during library operation

Problem
The host computer cannot communicate
with the library.
A tape cartridge (medium) is reported
not present.
A move command failed.
Long inventory times.
Redundant power supply warning.
Corrective action
• Verify that the host computer was added to the Secure Manager
using the Command View TL software, and was given access to
library components.
• Verify there is power to library components.
• Verify cable connections and termination.
• Verify that the interface controller link LEDs show activity.
• Restart the host and the library.
• Verify that the designated cartridge is present and properly seated.
(For a tape drive, ensure that the cartridge is completely unloaded.)
Then, retry the command.
• Perform an inventory by opening and closing the library doors.
• Read the error message for detailed information.
• Check the source and destination. The source should hold the
cartridge to be moved; the destination should be empty.
• Ensure that the picker is empty and that there are no obstructions.
• Retry the command.
• Use bar coded media and configure the library to use bar codes.
Expect inventory times ranging from 30 minutes for a 24U library to
1 hour for a 40U library with unlabeled media.
• A warning indicates that the redundant power supply failed. Verify
AC power to the power supply. If it is receiving power, replace the
power supply.
