Eject tape

figure 68

• From the
Contextual
menu, click
Acknowledge error
. This command is
necessary on occurrence of a write error or a power failure:
Any write error caught will cause all users to be disconnected. A
power failure will also cause all users to be disconnected.
On any new connection after a write error or a power failure, all FTP
commands return an error when the write error is not acknowledged
by a root user using the SITE command
ACKNOWLEDGE_ERROR
or
by disconnecting and reconnecting again. When a write error is
detected, the file system table of content is not written to tape in order
to prevent a full eMAM data corruption (because of the write error).
All modifications during the connection session are lost.
When a power failure is detected, the file system table of content is
not written to tape. All modifications during the connection session
are lost.
Caution:
All existing data on the file system will be overwritten
when you click
Erase tape
.
Note:
If the file system table of content has been modified before
the tape is set to write protected, these modification will
not be saved to tape.
