Hardware Detection of Errors

The drive contains sensors and circuits to detect errors. A temperature sensor monitors the 
temperature of the drive electronics. Voltage sensors detect when the power supply is out of 
tolerance. Other errors, such as tape velocity checks, read/write data integrity checks, and 
servo checks are performed using circuitry and sensors.

Error Codes Table

The following table details the single-character error codes:

Media error

Fenced

Fenced

Fenced

Failure occurs which cause the drive 
to make the volume read-only.

Write Protect

Fenced

Will not write.

Diagnostic Failure

If data path diagnostic fails, medium 
access commands are fenced.

1

Cooling Problem

Drive detected an over-temperature condition. Error condition 
clears when drive is powered off.

2

Power Problem

Drive detected that the externally supplied power is outside of 
specified voltage limits. Error condition clears when drive is 
powered off.

3

Microcode Problem

Drive determined that a microcode error has occurred. Drive 
dump is required prior to drive being powered off.

4

Microcode or Drive
Problem

Drive determined that a drive hardware or microcode failure has 
occurred. Drive dump is required prior to drive being powered 
off.

5

Drive Error

Drive determined that a drive hardware failure has occurred. 
Drive replacement is required.

6

Drive or Media Error

Drive determined that an error occurred, but cannot isolate it to 
faulty hardware or media. Error condition clears when cartridge 
is unloaded.

7

Media Error

Drive determined that an error occurred because of faulty 
media. Drive dump is required prior to unloading tape in the 
drive.

8

SCSI Bus Interface or Fibre 
Channel Error

Drive determined that a primary port interface error or Fibre 
Channel failure 

has occurred. The error condition clears after 10 

seconds if the error 

condition does not reoccur.

9

RS-422 Error

Drive determined that an interface or library interface failure has 
occurred. 

The error condition clears after 10 seconds if the error 

condition does not 

reoccur.
