Unloading a Cartridge From a Tape Drive
To unload a cartridge from a CT9841FC-1 tape drive:
1. Check that the tape drive is not selected by the client.
2. Obtain the drive number from the server console and place the tape drive offline.
3. Open the tape library right front door by pulling on the left side of the door.
4. Open the tape library left front door by using a latch key to unlock both locks (See
Figure 6-2.)
5. Press the UNLOAD switch on the front of the tape drive.
One of the following conditions can occur:
•
After the tape cartridge rewinds, the tape cartridge ejects from the tape drive.
Remove the tape cartridge from the tape drive.
•
The tape cartridge fails to eject after the tape cartridge rewinds.
•
If the UNLOAD switch is pressed during a write operation, the tape drive tries
to write the remaining data before the cartridge unloads. If the UnWrxxxx
(Unwritten Data) message appears, where the xxxx is the fault symptom code,
the attempt failed, and some data remains unwritten to the tape cartridge.
Returning the Tape Library to Online Status
To return the tape library to online status for automated operations:
1. Refer to your specific tape drive publications. For instructions on making the tape
drives ready.
2. Close and lock the tape library doors. The robot performs an audit of the cells.
3. Place the tape library online by entering the command at the server operator
console.
4. Give the client command to upload audit to the client.
Note. If any cartridges are manually loaded, they must be manually unloaded and stored in a
storage cell or removed from the tape library.
