TS3310 Tape Library Maintenance Information
SNMP Trap Description
Yes Set for any unrecoverable write
or positioning error where
isolation is uncertain and failure
could be due to a faulty tape
cartridge or to faulty drive
hardware.
No Set when the tape cartridge
reaches its end of life (EOL).
No Set when the cartridge is not
data-grade. Any data that you
write to the tape is at risk.
No Set when the tape drive detects
that the tape cartridge is
write-protected.
No Set when the tape drive receives
an UNLOAD command after the
server prevented the tape
cartridge from being removed.
No Set when you load a cleaning
cartridge into the drive.
No Set when you load an
unsupported cartridge type into
the drive or when the cartridge
format has been corrupted.
Yes Set when the operation failed
because the tape in the drive
snapped.
Yes Set when a cartridge memory
(CM) failure is detected on the
loaded tape cartridge.
No Set when you manually unload
the tape cartridge while the
drive was reading or writing.
No Set when a cartridge marked as
read-only is loaded into the
drive. The flag is cleared when
the cartridge is ejected.
Action Required
If Flag Number 9 is also set,
make sure that the write-protect
switch is set so that data can be
written to the tape (see
"Write-Protect Switch" on page
D-7). If Flag Number 4 is also
set, the cartridge is defective.
Replace the tape cartridge. If
Flag Number 4 is not set, see
Error Code 6 in "Drive Error
Codes" on page D-41.
1. Copy the data to another
tape cartridge.
2. Discard the old (EOL)
cartridge.
Replace the tape with a
data-grade tape.
Ensure that the cartridge's
write-protect switch is set so
that the tape drive can write
data to the tape (see
"Write-Protect Switch" on page
D-7).
Refer to the documentation for
your server's operating system.
No action required.
Use a supported tape cartridge.
See "Manual Cartridge Removal
from a Drive" on page 8-122.
Replace the tape cartridge. If
this message occurs on multiple
cartridges, see Error Code 6 in
"Drive Error Codes" on page
D-41.
