• Verify if multiple events on the same media occur, or multiple events
on different media occur. With this information you can determine if
the failures is media caused or drive caused.
• Make sure the event is not due to media being written badly by some
other drive. To confirm the media was not written incorrectly, look
for A401 events with the same media ID on this drive and other
drives this media may have been written to.
If the drive logs this error, the cleaning light may be turned

• Run a Tape Drive Write/Read test with two pieces of media. If test
fails, replace the DCA.
