LTO-6 Half-Height SAS Tape Drive

Troubleshooting
"7"
Media error.
The tape drive determined an error occurred because
of a faulty tape cartridge or an invalid tape cartridge. Ensure the
tape cartridge is the correct media type:
●
Ultrium-1, Ultrium-2, and Ultrium-3 tape cartridges are not
supported by the LTO-6 Tape Drive. If the LTO-1, LTO-2, or LTO-
3 cartridge is loaded, SCD is displayed as "J".
●
Drive will not accept an expired Cleaning Cartridge.
●
Drive will not write over existing datasets on a WORM cartridge.
Ensure you are appending datasets on WORM media rather
than attempting to write over existing datasets.
If the tape cartridge is the correct media type, try another tape
cartridge. If the problem occurs with multiple tape cartridges, use
the following procedure:
1. Clean the drive with the cleaning cartridge.
2. Retry the operation.
3. If the problem persists, retry the operation with a new or a
known good cartridge. If the operation succeeds, discard the
defective tape cartridge. If the problem persists also with the
new tape cartridge, the problem probably lies with the drive.
Contact your support partner.
The error code clears when you remove the tape cartridge.

Interface problem
. The tape drive determined that a failure
occurred in the tape drive’s hardware or in the host bus. Check the
cabeling between the tape drive and the SAS controller. If the
