Copy Dump to Tape
Writing
===>
The tape drive writes the dump data to the tape (at the beginning of the tape).
Note:
If you inserted an invalid or write-protected tape cartridge,
7
appears in
the single-character display. The tape drive unloads the cartridge and
exits maintenance mode.
v
If the copy operation completes successfully, the tape drive rewinds and
unloads the tape, and exits maintenance mode. The following message
displays:
Copy Dump to Tape
Passed!
followed by:
Cartridge Unloading
In Progress
then:
Ultrium Tape Drive
Drive Empty
v
If the copy operation fails, a message similar to the following displays, and
an error code appears in the single-character display.
ERROR!
Cooling Problem
To determine the error, locate the code in Table 8 on page 55. The tape drive
unloads the tape cartridge, exits maintenance mode, and displays the
following message:
Ultrium Tape Drive
Drive Empty
Function Code 6: Run SCSI Wrap Test
Function Code 6 performs a check of the SCSI circuitry from and to the SCSI
connector.
Note:
This test requires that the drive be terminated by either the terminator on
the connector or at the end of the bus. Before you select this function,
disconnect the SCSI cable of the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive that is closest to
the server. Then, attach the SCSI wrap plug to that SCSI connector.
1.
Make sure that no cartridge is in the drive.
2.
Make sure that the following message appears on the message display (you
may need to turn the power off, then on again for the message to appear):
