DR003: Resolve Drive Eject Failure
Problem :
The library received a request to unload and eject a tape cartridge from a tape drive but the operation failed. This
can be caused by attempting a manual operation (unload, move, etc.) of a tape drive while the drive is being used
by a Host Backup Application.
There are three cases to consider:
v
The tape drive is or was still busy servicing host commands.
v The tape drive failed to physically unload and eject the tape cartridge.
v User performed a manual operation (unload, move, etc.) of a tape drive while the drive was being used by a
Host Backup Application.
Troubleshooting Steps:
1.
View the ticket details to determine if the tape drive was busy reading or writing data.
2. If the drive was busy servicing host commands, wait for the host application to finish drive operations; then
repeat the command request to unload the tape drive.
3. If the drive was not busy servicing host commands, retry the failing command request.
4. If the requested command succeeds, observe for future occurrences and contact Service if the issue repeats.
5. If the requested command fails, open the library main access door(s) and use the drive pushbutton on the front
of the drive to initiate a tape cartridge eject operation. Press and hold the button continuously for 10 seconds. If
the tape is ejected, leave the cartridge in the tape drive, close the library access doors and continue operation.
Observe for future occurrences of such issue and contact Service if the issue repeats.
6. If the drive fails to unload and eject the tape cartridge, contact Service for assistance.
7. You have three options:
a. Close the Operator Intervention now.
b. Exit to leave it open for future troubleshooting.
c. Return to the Diagnostic Resolution now.
DR004: Resolve Full Destination Element
Problem :
