Debris from the tape manufacturing process was deposited on the drive head. Clean the drive using the tape library cleaning procedure in "Cleaning the Library Tape Drives" on page 3-23. If the message is displayed again within a short amount of time, replace the cartridge. An older, frequently used tape cartridge is loaded and a drive cleaning message is received. Dust from frequent tape loads and unloads has probably built up on the tape cartridge and was deposited on the drive head. Clean the outside of the tape cartridge with a damp cloth. Clean the tape drive using the tape drive cleaning procedure in "Cleaning the Library Tape Drives" on page 3-23. An older, frequently used tape causes a cleaning message to be displayed for the second time. The tape is probably damaged. (Damaged cartridges can cause unnecessary use of the cleaning cartridge.) 1. Verify the tape is readable by clearing the error message. (Select the ONLINE REPAIR option from the control panel. Turn off the drive containing the tape. Turn the drive on again. (See "Using Online Drive Replacement" on page 3-36). 2. Try reading the tape again: • If the tape can be read, back up data from the damaged cartridge to another tape cartridge and discard the damaged one. • If the tape cannot be read, call service.
