A Troubleshooting Fault Screen When a fault is detected, a screen similar to the one in Figure A-1 appears. At the same time, either the Drive Fault or the Loader Fault LED is lit. Figure A-1. Fault Screen The first line in the Fault Screen shows a numerical Fault Symptom Code (FSC). The second line shows a brief description of the error in place of the words 'Error Description.' The third and fourth lines will contain a one- or two-line message describing the initial Error Recovery Procedure (ERP).
Recovering from Errors Troubleshooting 2. At the Main menu, press the down button five times until the cursor is next to Show History Menu. 3. Press Enter to select the menu. 4. On the Show History menu, press the down button once so that the cursor in the display is next to Error History. 5. Press the Enter button to select the function. A circular list of 4-line error reports appears in the format shown in Figure A-2. 6.
Recovering from Errors Troubleshooting Error Recovery Procedures Table A-1 gives error recovery instructions for errors reported on the front panel. This list includes only those procedures that can safely perform by an operator. Appendix C, Error Recovery Procedures and Fault Symptom Codes includes additional procedures that can be performed by an experienced service technician. Table A-1.
Recovering from Errors Troubleshooting Table A-2.
Troubleshooting for Field Support Troubleshooting Troubleshooting for Field Support Control Panel The control panel consists of four LED indicators, a 4-line by 20-character backlit LCD display, and four buttons. Figure A-3 shows the control panel. Figure A-3.
Power-On Self-Test Screen Troubleshooting Power-On Self-Test Screen When you first turn on the tape drive, a series of power-on self-test (POST) diagnostics is performed. During the POST execution, the model number of the tape drive, the current date and time, the firmware revision, and the status or result of the test in progress appears on the control panel. Figure A-4 shows the first message that appears on the display. Figure A-4.
Initialization Screens Troubleshooting Initialization Screens After the POST is completed, the library robotics system begins its initialization. A series of screens similar to Figure A-5 appears during this process. Figure A-5.
Default Screen Troubleshooting Default Screen After the POST diagnostics have concluded successfully and initialization is complete, the default screen appears, as shown in Figure A-6. Figure A-6. Default Screen The first line of the Default Screen shows the status of the LTO drive.
Default Screen Troubleshooting • • • • Unloaded Loading Unloading Calibrating The second line displays possible status conditions of the library robotics: • • • • • • • • • • • Loader Idle Fetch Stow Diag Active Diag Complete Taking Inventory Elevator Home Checking Drive(s) Orphaned Cartridge Trapped Cartridge Scanning Labels The third line represents a map of the magazine. An 11-slot magazine is shown. The number 1 shows the location of slot 1 (the front slot) in the map.
Entering the Menu Mode Troubleshooting Entering the Menu Mode When the Default screen appears, enter the Menu mode by pressing the Enter button. The Main menu appears. See Figure A-7. Figure A-7. Main Menu Exiting the Menu Mode To leave the Menu mode and return to the Default screen, press the Escape button repeatedly. Each time you press the Escape button, the display moves to a higher menu level. When the Main menu is visible, pressing the Escape button once displays the Default screen.
The Menu Structure Troubleshooting The Menu Structure Figure A-8 shows the structure of the menus. Figure A-8.
Manual Unload Procedure Troubleshooting Manual Unload Procedure Note. The tape drive must be completely removed from the chassis before you perform this procedure. 1. The drive mechanism must be free of the assembly. DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIVE COVERS. 2. Orient the drive on the side with the front of the drive facing towards left as shown in Figure A-3 below. 3.

B SCSI Request Sense REQUEST SENSE 03h Figure B-1. REQUEST SENSE REQUEST SENSE tells the target to transfer sense data to the initiator. The sense data is valid for a CHECK CONDITION status returned on the previous command. The sense data bytes are preserved by the target until retrieved by the REQUEST SENSE command, or until the receipt of any other command from the same initiator.
Allocation Length SCSI Request Sense Sense Information Format Figure B-2. Sense Information Format Valid A valid bit of one indicates that the information bytes contain valid information as defined in the SCSI-2 specification. Error-Code A value of 70h indicates a current error- the report is associated with the most recently received command. A value of 71h indicates a deferred error- the report is associated with a previous command and not as a result of the current command.
Allocation Length SCSI Request Sense Sense Key This field provides the top level reason for the error or exception condition. SENSE KEY DESCRIPTION 0h NO SENSE. Indicates no specific sense key information is available. 1h RECOVERED ERROR. Indicates that the last command completed successfully with some recovery action performed by the target. This code is not used for the LTO Library. 2h NOT READY. Indicates that the logical unit addressed cannot be accessed.
Allocation Length SCSI Request Sense Information Bytes This field is always set to zero. Additional Sense Length This specifies the number of additional sense bytes to follow. If the allocation length of the command descriptor block is too small to transfer all of the additional sense bytes, the additional sense length is not adjusted to reflect the truncation.
