5. From the server, issue the SCSI READ command to read the dump from the
tape to a file or electronic image (you may need to issue the command several
times to read the complete dump).
6.
To determine where to send the file for analysis, contact your OEM Product
Application Engineer (PAE).
Using a device driver utility
About this task
To obtain a drive dump by using a device driver utility, determine whether your
server is installed with a utility that can read files from the server memory. If it is,
use that utility to obtain the drive dump.
For information about using IBM utility programs to obtain drive dumps, see the
IBM Ultrium Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide .
To determine where to send a file that contains a drive dump to be analyzed,
contact your OEM Product Application Engineer (PAE).
Viewing the drive error log
About this task
The drive keeps an error log that you can use to identify and correct errors. The
log contains the 10 most recent error codes, which appear (one at a time) on the
single-character display (SCD).
To view the drive error log:
Procedure
1. Make sure that no cartridge is in the drive.
2. Within two seconds, press the unload button three times. The status LED
becomes solid amber, which means that the drive is in Maintenance Mode.
3. Press the unload button once per second until
9
appears in the SCD.
4.
Press and hold the unload button for three seconds to view the most recent
error code.
5. Refer to “Error codes and messages” on page 46 to determine the meaning of
the code and the action to take.
6.
Press the unload button to view the next error code. (The codes are ordered;
the most recent is presented first and the oldest (tenth) is presented last.)
7. Continue to press the unload button until the ten error codes have been
displayed. After you display the tenth error code, the drive automatically exits
Maintenance Mode.

Resolving problems reported by the server
The procedure for fixing interface bus errors varies, depending on whether the
error is consistent or intermittent, and whether your configuration contains single
or multiple drives.
