2.0 81h_Invalid Command Error
This error code indicates the autoloader received an undefined command or an invalid parameter to a
command. Troubleshooting should begin with confirming the SCSI command sent to the autoloader is
supported and was sent with valid parameters.
DP1:
Check to see if the SCSI command sent to the autoloader is supported and was sent with valid
parameters.
Note:
For a list of supported SCSI commands, refer to Sun StorEdge L8 Tape Autoloader SCSI Reference
Guide (6-00524-01).
R1:
SCSI command is supported and was sent with valid parameters.
A1:
Cycle power to the autoloader and retry SCSI command.
DP2:
Check to see if the error code is still present after cycling autoloader power and retrying the
SCSI command.
Note:
The autoloader power switch is located in the lower left corner of the front panel behind
the bezel. Use the eraser end of a pencil or something similar to press the right side of the power
switch to toggle it to the OFF position. Press the left side of the power switch to toggle it back to
the ON position.
R2:
Error code is still present.
A2:
Disconnect the autoloader from the host server.
A2:
Cycle power to the autoloader and retry the autoloader command via the front panel.
DP3:

disconnecting the autoloader from the host server and cycling autoloader power.
R3:
Autoloader command not successful.
A3:
Replace the autoloader.

3.0 82h_Device Status Not Suitable To Execute This Command
This error code indicates a “BUSY” was reported to the host for the requested SCSI command. If the
autoloader robotics are busy, some commands cannot be executed at the same time. This is most likely the
cause of an error code 82h. Troubleshooting should begin with cycling power to the autoloader and retrying
the last operation.
DP1:
Check to see if the error code is still present after cycling autoloader power and retrying the last
operation.
Note:
The autoloader power switch is located in the lower left corner of the front panel behind the bezel.
Use the eraser end of a pencil or something similar to press the right side of the power switch to toggle it to
the OFF position. Press the left side of the power switch to toggle it back to the ON position.
R1:
Error code is still present.
