What to do if IBM TS4300 3555 Storage tape is stuck in drive?
To remove a stuck tape from the drive in your IBM Storage, follow these steps in order: 1. Stop all host activity. 2. Attempt to unload or move the cartridge to a slot. 3. Power down the library, disconnect the cable from the drive, power on the library, and wait until the tape drive is idle or ready. Then, attempt to move the cartridge to a slot. 4. Attempt an emergency eject cartridge from the drive. Inspect the tape cartridge for damage or misplaced labels, which could cause the issue. Discard any tape cartridge with issues.
Why does the IBM TS4300 3555 cleaning LED light up after using a cleaning cartridge?
If the Cleaning LED is lit after using a cleaning cartridge in your IBM Storage, it likely means the cleaning cartridge has expired. Cleaning cartridges expire after 50 cleaning cycles. Replace the cleaning cartridge to resolve this issue.
What does it mean when the Attention LED and Cleaning LED are lit on my IBM Storage?
If both the Attention LED and Cleaning LED are lit on your IBM Storage, it likely indicates that a drive requires cleaning. Check the Event Ticket Log on the Management GUI for more details.
What to do if IBM TS4300 3555 displays incorrect bar codes?
If your IBM Storage is displaying incorrect bar codes, verify that the label is properly applied and isn’t soiled.
What to do if the Attention LED is lit but the Cleaning LED isn’t lit after a cartridge load on my IBM Storage?
If the Attention LED is lit, but the Cleaning LED isn’t lit after a cartridge load on your IBM Storage, it means the library couldn't complete the requested operation with the selected tape cartridge. Make sure you are using cartridges that are compatible with the drive type, using the correct type of cartridges for the operation (for example, a cleaning cartridge for cleaning), and that you’re using a Universal cleaning cartridge.
Why does my IBM TS4300 3555 cartridge set off the Attention LED and possibly the Cleaning LED?
If a particular cartridge triggers the Attention LED, and possibly the Cleaning LED, on your IBM Storage, retry the operation with a different cartridge. If the Attention LED clears and reappears each time the cartridge is reloaded, suspect that cartridge is defective. Export the cartridge and load a known good one. The cartridge might be worn out, have a defective memory, or be formatted as a Firmware Upgrade cartridge. Do not reuse suspected defective or contaminated cartridges in any drive. If the suspect cartridge is a cleaning cartridge, it might be expired.
What to do if I can't remove a cartridge from the storage slot in my IBM TS4300 3555 Storage?
If you're having trouble removing a cartridge from the storage slot of your IBM Storage, try these steps: 1. Unlock the magazine and extend it to access the storage slot. 2. Grasp the cartridge and remove it. Some tapes may need to be inserted and removed several times to condition them for free movement. 3. Check the bar code label to ensure it's secure to the cartridge. 4. Inspect the cartridge for any damage.
Why can't I load the cleaning cartridge in my IBM TS4300 3555?
If you're unable to load a cleaning cartridge in your IBM Storage, ensure that you’re using an LTO cleaning cartridge and that it isn’t expired. Cleaning cartridges expire after 50 cleaning cycles.
What does it mean if there is no message on the Operator Panel display of my IBM TS4300 3555?
If no message appears on the Operator Panel display of your IBM Storage, check all power cord connections, check the LEDs on the power supplies, make sure that the power on the front panel was pressed and the green Ready LED is lit, and ensure that the outlet has power by trying another working outlet.
