Table 17. Error codes on the Single-character Display (continued)
Error Code Cause and Action
Encryption Error. Displayed when the drive detects an error that is associated with an encryption
operation. If the problem occurred while the tape drive was writing data to, or reading data from,
tape:
1. Check the host application to ensure that the host application is providing the correct
encryption key.
v Refer to the IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Drive SCSI Reference documentation for the sense data
that is returned for an encryption operation.
v Retry the encryption operation after the host application problems are resolved.
2. Check the operation of the tape drive by resetting the drive and running POST. See Table 5 on
page 16.
v
Refer to the error code displayed on the SCD if the drive reset and POST fails.
v Retry the encryption operation if the drive reset and POST complete without errors.
3. Check the media.
v Ensure that the correct media is used. Data encryption is supported by LTO Ultrium 4 and
later Data Cartridges only.
v Retry the encryption operation with the tape cartridge in another encryption enabled drive.
Replace the media if the problem repeats with the same tape cartridge in multiple drives.
If the problem occurred while the tape drive was running POST or diagnostic tests, replace the
drive.
The error code clears with the first attempted write/read after the encryption key is changed, or
when the drive is placed in Maintenance mode.
E
Fiber Port offline. NOT SUPPORTED ON THIS DRIVE.
F
Fibre Channel error. NOT SUPPORTED ON THIS DRIVE.
J
Incompatible media. The tape drive detected that an unsupported cartridge was loaded or the
cartridge that is loaded has an incompatible format.
P
Write operation to a write protected cartridge was attempted (includes any attempt to overwrite a
WORM protected tape). Ensure that the tape cartridge is the correct media type. If the tape
cartridge is the correct media type, check the write-protect switch on the cartridge. The drive does
not write to a write-protected cartridge. The error code clears when you remove the tape cartridge
or place the tape drive in Maintenance mode.
