Solution
• A cartridge should be acclimated for a minimum of 24 hours
before being used, particularly if it has been stored at a
substantially different temperature or level of humidity than
the ValueLoader.
• Make sure you are using a compatible cleaning cartridge.
• If the Media Attention LED is cleared using a cleaning
cartridge and then immediately reappears each time a
particular cartridge is reloaded, and you have confirmed that
the suspect cartridge is not invalid (DLTtapeIII cartridge), that
cartridge should be suspected as being contaminated.
• If this occurs, export the cartridge, clean the tape drive again,
and then load a known good cartridge. In some cases, a
cartridge can be worn out, have bad calibration tracks, have
been improperly degaussed, or have a bad tape directory
recorded by another drive type such as DLT7000 or DLT8000.
• Any cartridge that is suspected of being defective or
contaminated should NOT be reused in any drive. Cartridges
that are suspected as being improperly degaussed or
containing incompatible formats such as DLT7000 or DLT8000
must be thoroughly degaussed before use.
• A cleaning cartridge is good for 20 uses.
