Preparing the Library for Operation Preparing Tape Cartridges Caution: Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop or mishandle them, or place them near sources of electromagnetic interference. Rough handling can damage the cartridge, making it unusable and potentially hazardous to the tape drives. Labeling Tape Cartridges Caution: The misuse and misunderstanding of bar code technology can result in backup and restore failures.
Preparing the Library for Operation SDLT Bar Code Labels SDLT cartridges have a front slide slot located on the face of the cartridge next to the write-protect switch (1 Figure 15). Use this slot for inserting the bar code label by sliding it into the slot. Caution: Do not apply labels onto the top, bottom, sides, or back of the cartridge as this may cause damage to the tape drive, or interfere with reliable operation.
Preparing the Library for Operation Ultrium Bar Code Labels Ultrium cartridges have a recessed area located on the face of the cartridge next to the write-protect switch. Use this area for attaching the adhesive-backed bar code label (see Figure 17). Do not apply labels onto the cartridge except in this designated area. Caution: The bar code label should be applied as shown in Figure 19 with the alphanumeric portion facing the hub side of the cartridge.
Preparing the Library for Operation For successful operation of your tape library, place the bar code label entirely within the recessed area, ensuring that no part of the label is outside of it (see Figure 17). Figure 17: Proper Ultrium bar code label placement Media Label Identifiers Be sure to use the proper bar code labels for your drive technology. Table 10 lists the identifier that is found at the end of 7- or 8-character SDLT and Ultrium bar code labels.
Preparing the Library for Operation Setting the Write-Protect Switch Each tape cartridge has a sliding write-protect switch. This switch determines whether new data can be written to the tape cartridge (write-enabled) or whether data on the tape cartridge is protected from being erased or overwritten (write-protected). Write-Protecting SDLT Tape Cartridges By moving the switch to the left (Figure 18), the tape cartridge is write-protected (orange indicator is visible).
Preparing the Library for Operation Write-Protecting Ultrium Tape Cartridges By moving the switch to the left(2 Figure 19), the tape cartridge is write-enabled. By moving the switch to the right(3 Figure 19), the tape cartridge is write-protected.

After unloading the drive, remove the tape cartridge using the Move Cartridge command. To unload a drive: 1. From the Operator screen, press the Unload Drive button. The control panel displays the Control: Unload Drive screen (see Figure 35). Figure 35: Control: unload drive screen 2.
Operator Commands Unloading the Load Port The Unload Imp/Exp command moves a tape cartridge from the load port to an available storage bin. This option must be invoked after inserting a tape into the load port whenever the library Auto Load feature is disabled. See “Configuring Library Options”on page 79. Note: You can also use the Move Cartridge command to unload the load port. This command is especially useful if the destination of the move is important.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting 5 This chapter provides troubleshooting and maintenance information for the HP StorageWorks ESL9000 Series tape library.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Common Problems This section describes problems you might encounter during the setup and operation of the HP StorageWorks ESL9000 Series tape library. Corrective information is provided to help you resolve the problems. Several of these problems produce error messages on the control panel called sense data values. Sense data value messages consist of a number and a description of the error.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 14: Start Up Problems (Continued) Problem Corrective Action During initialization, the library reports “Not Ready.” ■ One or more tape drives fail to spin up during start-up. ■ ■ ■ ■ The library starts up in standby mode. Determine the failure type by checking any previous error codes returned to the host computer. Correct the cause of the error. With the tape drive powered off, check all power connections.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Robotics Problems Table 16 lists corrective actions for robotics problems. Table 16: Robotics Problems Problem The robot does not move at powerup. ■ Make sure that all internal packing materials (shipping brackets, foam pads, and tie wraps) have been removed. ■ Check the Stop and Standby buttons to ensure the library is on-line, and the Stop button is disabled. The gripper partially grips a tape cartridge.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 16: Robotics Problems (Continued) Problem The robot drops a cartridge. Corrective Action ■ Open the front door. ■ Retrieve the cartridge, check it for damage, orient it properly, and place the cartridge in an empty storage bin. (Do not try to place the cartridge in the gripper.) Visually inspect the gripper and extension axis.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Operating Problems Table 17 lists corrective actions for problems that might occur during library operation. If the problem persists, contact your authorized service provider. Table 17: Operating Problems Problem The host computer cannot communicate with the library, or one or more of the drives. Corrective Action ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ A tape cartridge is reported as not present.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 17: Operating Problems (Continued) Problem A Move command failed. Corrective Action ■ Check the source and destination. The source should hold the cartridge to be moved, and the destination should be empty. ■ Make sure the gripper is empty and all actuators are free of obstruction. ■ Make sure the library is on-line and the Stop button is released. ■ Retry the command.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting Maintaining Tape Cartridges Note: In addition to the information provided in this manual, access the HP StorageWorks SDLT Tape Drive Reference Guide, and the HP StorageWorks Ultrium Tape Drive User’s Guide from http://www.hp.com/support for more information. For longer life of recorded or unrecorded tape cartridges: 98 ■ Do not carry cartridges loosely in a container that exposes them to unnecessary physical shock.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting If a tape cartridge is dropped or damage is suspected, gently shake the tape cartridge: ■ If it rattles, it is damaged. Restore the data on the tape cartridge by some means other than by using the tape drive, and discard the damaged tape cartridge. ■ If it doesn't rattle, check the tape leader inside the cartridge. To do this, open the door on the rear of the tape cartridge by releasing the door lock.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Cleaning Tape Drives Use the guidelines in the following sections to clean your tape drives. Cleaning SDLT Tape Drives Be aware of the following: ■ Under normal conditions, the cleaning cartridge is effective for about 20 cleanings. ■ SDLT tape drives typically do not need regular cleaning, as their design allows for minimal head contamination. ■ Use the cleaning tape only if the cleaning Alert light is on.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Cleaning Ultrium Tape Drives Be aware of the following: ■ Ultrium tape drives have been developed to have a minimal cleaning requirement. Note: Only use HP-approved Ultrium cleaning cartridges. ■ An HP Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge can be used up to 50 times. If you are using an older HP Ultrium cleaning cartridge, check the documentation that came with your media. Caution: Only use HP Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridges in the Ultrium 460 tape drive.
