DLT drive does not read
tape (
continued
).
Tape is not compatible
with the drive.
Check your tape specifications to be sure
that the tape is designed to work with the
drive.
Device conflict exists.
Be sure that each device on the
controller has a unique ID. Use the
server setup utility to check for conflicts.
SCSI terminator is
missing for the external
DLT drive.
The external DLT drive requires a SCSI
terminator to be secured to the unused
SCSI IN connector on the back of the
drive. DLT drives can be daisy chained.
Do not connect more than three units per
SCSI controller. The last DLT drive in the
chain requires the SCSI terminator. If the
terminator is not connected, the system
may not recognize the DLT drive.
Server cannot see DLT
drive.
Maximum number of
drives per controller has
been exceeded.
Refer to your controller documentation.
DAT drive error is
displayed.
Problem exists with a
DAT drive.
Refer to “DAT Drives” in this chapter.
Error occurs during
backup, but the backup is
completed.
Non-failure error has
occurred.
Some errors do not cause a failure. If an
error occurs but does not disrupt the
backup, you may be able to ignore the
error. Contact the software vendor for
more information about the message.
