"5"
Tape drive hardware problem.
The drive determined that a tape
path or read/write error occurred. To prevent damage to the drive
or tape, the tape drive will not allow you to insert a cartridge if the
current cartridge was successfully ejected. The error code may
clear when you cycle power to the tape drive. If the problem
persists, contact your support partner.
"6"
Tape drive or media error.
The tape drive determined that an error
occurred, but it cannot isolate the error to faulty hardware or to the
tape cartridge. Ensure the tape cartridge is the correct media type:
●
Ultrium-1, Ultrium-2, and Ultrium-3 tape cartridges are not
supported by the LTO-6 Tape Drive. If the Ultrium-1, Ultrium-2,
or Ultrium-3 cartridge is loaded, SCD is displayed as "J".
●
Drive will not accept an expired Cleaning Cartridge.
●
Drive will not write over existing datasets on a WORM cartridge.
Ensure you are appending datasets on WORM media rather
than attempting to write over existing datasets
If the tape cartridge is the correct media type, perform the following
action:
1. Clean the drive with the cleaning cartridge.
2. Retry the operation.
3. If the problem persists, contact your support partner.
The error code clears when you remove the tape cartridge.
