TS3310 Tape Library Setup and Operator Guide
If the cartridge is managed by a host application, export
the cartridge via the host application.
If the cartridge is managed by the library, perform the
following:
v Remove the suspect cartridge (see "Exporting a Data
Cartridge" on page 7-15 or "Exporting a Cleaning
Cartridge" on page 7-16).
v Import a new cartridge (see "Importing Data Cartridges"
on page 7-15 or "Importing a Cleaning Cartridge" on
page 7-16).
System determines that the drive has issued a TapeAlert 5
indicating an unrecoverable read error where isolation is
uncertain between drive and media.
Tape drive issues a TapeAlert 5 which is recognized by the
library during the continuous 4 second polling cycle of
drive status.
Drive has determined that there is a problem per its
internal algorithms.
