The Status screen appears when you power on the autoloader. The first line of
the Status screen displays high-level autoloader status. If there is no
high-level status to report, the first line displays the product name. The
second line displays low-level autoloader status. If there is no low-level status
to report, the second line displays the tape drive’s status.
An example of the Status screen with a status message “Drive Ready, No Tape”
is shown below.
Note:
The exact wording of your Status screen may be different.
If a hardware error occurs, an error code and a brief description appears
automatically on the Status screen. You must correct the error before
operation can continue. (Refer to
for help in diagnosing and
correcting errors.)
