Table 8. Codes on the single-character display of the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive (continued). The display clears if
you power-off the tape drive.
Code
Cause and Action
7
A high probability of media error. The tape drive determined that an error occurred because of a
faulty tape cartridge. Try another tape cartridge. If the problem occurs with multiple tape
cartridges, use the following procedure:
Attention:
When you run the Test Cartridge & Media diagnostic, data on the suspect tape is
overwritten. Use only a scratch data cartridge to run the test.
1.
If possible, run the tape cartridge in a different tape drive. If the operation in the other unit
fails and
6
or
7
displays, replace the media. If the operation succeeds, run the Test Cartridge &
Media diagnostic (see Function Code E in Table 9 on page 59).
2.
If the Test Cartridge & Media diagnostic fails, replace the media. If it runs successfully, clean
the drive head and run the tape drive diagnostics (see “Cleaning the Drive Head” on page 22
and Function Code 1 in Table 9 on page 59).
3.
If the tape drive diagnostics fail, replace the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive. If the tape drive
diagnostics run successfully, perform the operation that produced the initial media error.
The error code clears when you remove the tape cartridge or place the tape drive in maintenance
mode.
8
Tape drive or SCSI bus failure. The tape drive determined that a failure occurred in the tape
drive’s hardware or in the SCSI bus. See “Procedure 3” on page 49. The error code clears 10
seconds after the drive detected the error or when you place the drive in maintenance mode.
9
Tape drive or RS-422 error. The tape drive determined that a failure occurred in the tape drive’s
hardware or in the RS-422 connection. Replace the tape drive3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive. The error
code clears 10 seconds after the drive detected the error or when you place the tape drive in
maintenance mode.
o, c, b, h, E, or
F
No error or message assigned. There may be a problem with the single-character display. Turn the
power off, then on and determine whether all segments on the single-character display are lit. If
so, you may have a down-level version of your 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive’s firmware or this
book. Refer to the latest version of the firmware or this book.
A
Tape drive hardware problem. The tape drive determined that a problem occurred which
degraded the operation of the tape drive, but it did not restrict continued use. If the problem
persists, replace the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive. The drive is usable, though the single-character
display continues to indicate an error and the status light flashes amber.
The error code may clear when you cycle power to the tape drive or place it in maintenance
mode.
B
No error or message is assigned. See error code 8 in this table.
C
The tape drive needs to be cleaned. Clean the tape drive. See “Cleaning the Drive Head” on
page 22.
The error code clears when you clean the tape drive or place it in maintenance mode.
D
No error or message assigned. See error code 0 in this table.
