LTO Tape Drive Troubleshooting

When drive power is cycled, LTO drives automatically run self-diagnostic tests,

checking memory and sensors, performing motor and servo tests, and testing data

channels to ensure that the drive is functioning within normal parameters.

LTO drives have these troubleshooting tools, shown in Figure 10-1:

• A light-emitting diode (LED)

• A single-character display (SCD)

If you think that the drive may be faulty, follow these steps:

1. Note the state and color of the LED on the front of the suspect drive.

2. Note the character in the SCD on the front of the suspect drive.

3. Refer to the following tables to interpret these indicators. If the drive is in an

error state, contact Spectra Logic Technical Support.
