The drive is trying to read what appears to be a blank cartridge (one with no DDS-format End of Data pattern). This is probably a result of power failure while writing. The drive is switching to the other partition on a two-partition tape. A command to format the tape has failed because the requested size for partition 1 is too large. Action: Try again with a smaller partition 1 or, if possible, a longer tape. The drive is reading data from the tape. If it still fails, call customer support. New FW!!!!No EODmark S E F Partition Partition 1 too large Read Read Fail S E O S E F 4-5 Front Panel Messages Messages Message Read Only Ready xxm Type OAR Meaning S S See Ready xxm. A cartridge has been loaded in the DDS drive, and the drive is ready for tape motion commands. xxm is the length of the currently loaded cartridge. For example, Ready 125m will be displayed when a DDS-3 (125m) cartridge is loaded. If a write-protected cartridge is loaded, the Ready xxm message alternates with a Read Only message. The drive is rewinding the tape to the beginning of the partition. O Rewind SCSI Error S E A SCSI command error has been detected. Action: Check the SCSI interface connection and try again. This indicates the SCSI ID (x) of the autoloader. During the power-on sequence, it is displayed for 2 seconds. The drive is searching for a record, filemark, setmark, or BOD (Beginning of Data) towards the beginning of the tape (in SCSI terms, it is responding to a SPACE command with a negative Count field). [. . . ] Standard TapeAlert is a built-in feature of the HP A3716A. TapeAlert for OpenView is additional software that sends TapeAlert messages over the network to the network administrator, allowing the monitoring of remote tape drives and autoloaders. TapeAlert requires compatible backup software, which will display the HP TapeAlert logo. For example, a flag is set if the drive detects that a cartridge is not Media Recognition System. [. . . ]
