Device Driver Installation: Make sure that the proper device driver, if applicable, is installed for
the library. Contact your support representative for more information.
NOTE:
Many backup applications use their own drivers for the library and drive. Before installing a
driver, make sure it will not be in conflict with the software.

Contact your service representative.
Tape Movement
Tape stuck in drive Power cycle the library, allow it to complete initialization,
which in rare cases can take as long as 10 minutes, and
then retry unloading the tape using the library operator
control panel.
Allow the tape drive to complete all operations. This may
take as long as ten minutes if you reset or cycle power on
the library while the cartridge is positioned at the physical
end of the media.
Make sure that the backup software is not reserving the slot
or preventing the tape drive from ejecting the cartridge.
The backup software needs to cancel the reservation and
any hold it has on the tape drive. Temporarily disconnecting
the library from the host server and power cycling
eliminates the host and its software as a problem source.
Contact your service representative.

incompatible with drive.
Make sure you are using data and cleaning cartridges that are
compatible with the drive and model of your library. The library
automatically unloads incompatible cartridges, the Media
Attention LED flashes, and an exclamation mark (!) is displayed
in the inventory display for the indicated slot number.
Export the media in order to clear the state.
