A.5 Unloading a Tape Cartridge
Complete this subsection to unload a tape cartridge; refer to
Figure A-4 on
page A-7
as needed.
1.
Press the Eject button (or issue an appropriate system software command); the
drive completes any active writing of data to the tape. The Drive Status LED
blinks as the tape rewinds.
When the tape is finished rewinding, the drive ejects the cartridge and the
Drive Status LED lights steadily.
2.
Remove the cartridge from the drive and return the cartridge to its plastic case
to protect the cartridge from damage.
A.6 Overwriting 320-Formatted SDLT Tape
Cartridges
This section describes what happens when a 320-formatted cartridge is inserted
into a 220 drive and the drive is “instructed” to overwrite the cartridge with a 220
format. A scenario like this might be possible in a tape automation library, where
tapes are being drawn from a large “pool,” usually with minimal human
interaction.
While a 320-formatted cartridge is loading in a 220 drive the drive will report
02/04/01 (Not Ready, Calibration in Progress) in response to Test Unit Ready
(TUR) commands until the drive calibrates the tape and transitions to a ready state.
At that time it will report 06/28/00 (Unit Attention, Not Ready to Ready
Transition. Subsequent TUR commands will return Good status.
C
AUTION
: Remove the tape cartridge from the tape drive BEFORE
turning off host power. Failure to remove a tape cartridge
may result in cartridge or tape drive damage.
Do NOT rush removal of the tape cartridge. Wait until the
drive ejects the cartridge and the Drive Status LED lights
steady before removing the cartridge.
