Full-high Drive: No Apparent Failure or Damage to Tape
Note: If the cartridge in the drive is an INPUT tape containing ACTIVE or 'ONLY
COPY' data (i.e., there is no backup), eject commands issued at the host fail
to unload the tape, and power-cycling the drive fails to eject the cartridge,
make
no further attempts to unload this tape. Call Technical Support and
open a PMR if one isn’t already open, to initiate the process of sending the
drive with the loaded cartridge in for recovery.
