2 Shut down the library using the operator panel or Web client (see Shutting Down the Library on page 15). 3 Turn OFF the library by pressing the power button on the front panel (see Turning Off the Library on page 19). 4 Remove library power by disconnecting the power supply cord from the power supply on the back of the library. If there are two power supplies, remove the cords to both. See Completely Removing Library Power on page 20.
Shutdown shuts down the librarys operating system and firmware, closes data and log files, and retracts the picker so that a tape cartridge or the picker fingers are not stuck part way into a tape drive or magazine slot. If the robot was in the middle of a get or put operation, it will attempt to complete the operation before shutting down, by either pushing the cartridge into the destination slot, or removing it completely from the slot and stopping in a safe location from which it can move again once power is restored. Once the shutdown is complete, you can safely turn off the library by pressing the power button on the front panel (see Turning Off the Library on page 19).

Chapter 1: Common Service Procedures Shutting Down, Restarting, Turning Off, and Removing Power
Turning OFF the library means pressing the power button on the front panel. It is recommended that you perform a shutdown via the Web client or operator panel before turning off the library. If you do not perform a shutdown, the library attempts to complete all shutdown operations before turning off the library. However, it may not have enough time to shut down completely, and operations could be stopped mid-process. Caution: You should always perform a shutdown before turning off the library or completely removing power. Otherwise, the following could occur: The library may not complete closing all data and log files. If you turn off power while writing to tape, the data on the tape could become corrupted. 1 Make sure the connected host applications are not sending commands to the library and that all library operations have stopped. 2 Shut down the library (see Shutting Down the Library on page 15). 3 Turn OFF the library by physically pressing the power button on the librarys front panel. It can take up to 12 seconds for the power to completely turn off. Note: Turning off the library does not completely remove library power (see Completely Removing Library Power on page 20).

Chapter 1: Common Service Procedures Shutting Down, Restarting, Turning Off, and Removing Power
Completely removing library power means disconnecting the power cord from each power supply on the library. Caution: You should always perform a shutdown and then turn off library power before completely removing power. Otherwise, the following could occur: The library may not complete closing all data and log files. If you turn off power or unplug the power cord while writing to tape, the data on the tape could become corrupted. The robot may become frozen in the middle of an operation and unable to move once library power is restored, possibly requiring a service call. 1 Make sure the connected host applications are not sending commands to the library and that all library operations have stopped. 2 Shut down the library (see Shutting Down the Library on page 15). 3 Turn OFF the library by physically pressing the power button on the librarys front panel (see Turning Off the Library on page 19). Make sure the operator panel turns off or the LED on the SCB turns off. 4 Disconnect the power cord(s) from all power supplies on the back of the library. If there are two power supplies, disconnect both cords. Power is completely removed from the library when the LED on each power supply is off.
In an emergency, you may need to turn off power immediately to stop robot motion, bypassing the normal shutdown process. In an emergency, you can turn off power in one of two ways: Press the power button on the front of the library to turn the library OFF. It may take up to 4 seconds for all motion to completely stop. Note that this does not completely remove library power (you need to disconnect the power cords to do that). Disconnect the power cord from each power supply on the back of the library. It may take 1 to 2 seconds for motion to completely stop.
20
Caution: These methods are not recommended except in case of emergency where it is vital that library operations be stopped immediately. If you do not first perform a shutdown as described in the sections above, the following could occur: The library may not complete closing all data and log files. If you turn off power or unplug the power cord while writing to tape, the data on the tape could become corrupted. If you unplug the power cord, the robot may become frozen in the middle of an operation and unable to move once library power is restored, possibly requiring a service call.

Changing the partition mode changes whether or not the specified partition is online or offline to the host application. Changing a partition mode using the library interface may affect your host application. See your host application documentation for more information. Note: Some maintenance activities require that the entire library be taken offline. To take the library offline, change the mode of all partitions from online to offline. When you are changing the partition mode, be aware of the following: When you access the Change Partition Mode screen, you will see only partitions to which you have been given access. When changing the partition mode from online to offline, all host application commands in progress at the start of the mode change are completed. You can change partition modes from the operator panel or the Web client.

Releasing Magazines
Magazines are locked during normal operation. Before you open or completely remove a magazine, you must release it, either via the user interface or manually. These procedures are described in: Releasing Magazines via the User Interface on page 29 Releasing Magazines Manually on page 30 When you give the command to release a magazine via the operator panel or Web client, the robot physically moves to the unlock mechanism and unlocks it. This takes a few seconds. Once unlocked, you have 30 seconds to open the magazine before it locks again. Note: All storage slots contained in an open or removed magazine are unavailable to applications. Note: If you want to remove more than one magazine, such as when bulk loading tape cartridges, release and remove all the magazines you want to remove before you close any of them. Otherwise, if you remove and replace them one at a time, you must wait for the robot to complete inventory on the one being replaced before it can release another one. Caution: If the library is turned ON, always release the magazines via the user interface. It is easier and will not result in a diagnostic ticket (see Chapter 7, Diagnostic Tickets and Resolutions). Additionally, the library makes sure nothing is physically blocking the magazine that could cause damage to library components before allowing you to release it.

This operation saves your current library configuration and library firmware. It is recommended that you save the library configuration after modifying a configurable item and before upgrading firmware. This allows you to restore the most current settings if necessary. Save your library configuration when it is in a known working state. In the event of a hardware failure, the saved configuration can be used to restore the configuration after hardware repairs are made. Before initiating a firmware upgrade, you should save the library configuration. You then have the option to restore the configuration after either a successful or an unsuccessful upgrade. You can only save the configuration from the Web client.
Web Client
1 Select Tools > Save/Restore Configuration. 2 Select Save System Configuration. 3 Click Apply. 4 When the operation completes successfully, complete the next screens to save the file to a known location.
You can restore the librarys configurable items to a previous state using a saved configuration file. If you updated the library firmware since last saving the configuration, the library automatically restores the library firmware to the version that was saved with the configuration.
33
Chapter 1: Common Service Procedures Saving and Restoring the Library Configuration
Caution: After you restore the librarys configuration, verify that your drive firmware version reflects the desired firmware level. Note: You can also downgrade library firmware to an earlier version using the Tools > Update Library Firmware command. Note that you will lose all your current library configuration information except for network settings, date and time, and license keys. You can restore the other configurable items using a configuration file that was saved when the earlier version of library firmware was installed on the library, or you can reconfigure your librarys settings. You can only restore the library configuration via the Web client.

Chapter 1: Common Service Procedures Removing the Y-tray Restraint and Releasing the Y-tray at Initial Install
Removing the Y-tray Restraint and Releasing the Y-tray at Initial Install
When you install a new library, the Y-tray is restrained at the top of the library. If the Y-tray has problems initializing upon initial install or after a chassis replacement, it may be because the Y-tray restraint was not removed and/or the Y-tray was not released fully. Note: After the initial unpack, if you need to secure the Y-tray again, you will restrain the Y-tray at the bottom of the library, not the top. Note: Step 1, Step 2, and Figure 14 only apply to libraries with GA firmware (100G.GS004). Later versions of firmware do not require these steps to be performed. The Y-tray restraint consists of four (4) thumbscrews, a plastic sheet, a small metal clip, and underneath the plastic sheet, an orange restraint tablocated on the top cover of the library. 1 GA Libraries Only: Partially unscrew (about 3 or 4 turns) all four thumbscrews, but do not remove them. 2 GA Libraries Only: Using your fingers, carefully push down on two diagonally positioned thumbscrews. Push them down as far as they will go. This ensures that the Y-tray can initialize freely. See Figure 14.
35
Chapter 1: Common Service Procedures Removing the Y-tray Restraint and Releasing the Y-tray at Initial Install
3 Completely unscrew and remove the four thumbscrews from the top cover (see Figure 15). Save the thumbscrews in case you need to move or ship the library in the future. Note: The Y-tray may stay at the top of the library, or it may move downward toward the floor of the library. If it moves downward, you will hear the gears turning as it moves. This is normal. 4 Remove the plastic sheet and metal clip and discard. You will not need to use them again. 5 IMPORTANT: Remove the orange shipping restraint tab and discard. You will not need to use it again.
36
6 After the library has been installed and is ready to be powered up, refer to Running the Installation and Verification Test (IVT) on page 211.
37
Chapter 1: Common Service Procedures Using Advanced Reporting Control Path Failover and Forced CPF
Caution: Do not set the library upright while the thumbscrews are installed. The Y-tray must be on its side or in its specific packaging, otherwise the thumbscrews could damage the chassis or the Y-tray.
Prerequisites
To configure control path failover, you must have the following setup on your library: Advanced Reporting License. The control path and failover tape drives must both be HP LTO-5 FC tape drives, and you must have a minimum of two drives in a single partition. The control path and failover tape drives must have their topology configured as Point to Point. The control path and failover tape drives must be connected to an NPIV-enabled switch on the same fabric.
38
Chapter 1: Common Service Procedures Using Advanced Reporting Control Path Failover and Forced CPF
When control path failover is configured for a partition, the partition uses a virtual port as the control path communication port. The World Wide Port Name (WWPN) for this virtual port is listed in the librarys System Information Report in the Library Partitions section under Control Path (see Viewing System Information on page 182).
Configuring CPF
You can configure control path failover from the Web client only.

The lodged tape procedure is designed to be performed by a customer, but ONLY with a service technician on the phone with them guiding them through it. You must first send the customer a copy of this procedure, which they can follow with you on the phone helping them. The procedure is released in Agile as a standalone document named Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 Lodged Tape Removal Instructions (p/n 6-66780-xx).

Caution: The procedure that follows is complex and may potentially expose you to electrical current or contact with the robotic arm if not performed correctly.
A lodged tape video complementing this guide is available. Quantum strongly encourages you to review the video before attempting to complete this procedure. Go to http://csweb.quantum.com/training/i40i80/stuck_tape/ Scalar_i40i80_stuckTapeRemoval.html In addition to the lodged tape removal instructions, Service technicians should know the following two things regarding Pulling out the Tape Drive and Rotating the Picker Fingers. We dont provide them to customers because it is rare that you will need to use them. However, it is important that you know about them in case they come up.
We dont mention this in the lodged tape removal standalone document, but it may come up. Be aware of this if you are guiding a customer in pulling out a tape drive. Normally, pulling out the tape drive will not damage anything. If the cartridge is stuck in the tape drive, the picker fingers should not be engaged, and if they are engaged, then the tape will not be lodged in the drive. However, in rare cases, the picker and drive will both remain attached when you try to pull out the tape drive. Therefore, if you experience a lot of resistance when pulling out the tape drive, you should stop and instead remove the library top cover. What is a lot of resistance?
44
Chapter 2: Lodged Tape Removal Instructions Notes for Service Before Beginning
There is a normal amount of resistance when the tape drive disconnects from the connector in the library. This should go away after you pull the drive out 1/4 of an inch. If there is undue resistance after 1/4 of an inch, then you should stop pulling out the tape drive. You will need to help the customer gauge what this feels like.
You should not need to do this very often. However, you may need to do this as a last resort to remove a cartridge. If a cartridge is jammed into a magazine slot and is still being held by the picker, and you cannot move the cartridge by lifting it up or moving the picker along the Z-axis as described in the Moving the Picker Carriage Along the Robots Z-axis (Tape Stuck in Magazine) on page 60, then you may need to rotate the fingers down to enable you to move the picker out of the way. The picker arms rotate 90 degrees. When the picker fingers are horizontal, they face in toward the tape cartridge, grasping the notch in the cartridge (see Figure 20). When they face straight down, they release the tape cartridge (see Figure 21). When you rotate one arm, the other rotates with it. To release the tape cartridge: 1 Rotate the picker arms down by turning one of the picker finger drive gears upward. The picker finger drive gears are located on both sides of the picker (see Figure 20 and Figure 21).

Before trying to remove a cartridge manually, attempt to dislodge the tape using the following procedure: Note: Depending on the state of the drive and/or library, you may not be able to successfully dislodge the tape using the drives Eject button. 1 Ensure the library is on a flat surface by a power source and the top cover has been removed. 2 Connect the library to a power source, and power on the library. If the library needs to be moved to a power source, put on the top cover to provide chassis support. Caution: The procedure that follows is complex and may potentially expose you to electrical current or contact with the robotic arm if not performed correctly.
A lodged tape video complementing this guide is available. Quantum strongly encourages you to review the video before attempting to complete this procedure. Go to http://csweb.quantum.com/training/i40i80/stuck_tape/ Scalar_i40i80_stuckTapeRemoval.html 3 Wait for initialization to complete and any robotic movement to cease. This takes about 15 minutes. If initialization is not completed successfully, you will receive a diagnostic ticket which will need to be resolved before continuing. 4 Visually determine which drive has a stuck tape.

Moving the Picker Carriage Along the Robots Z-axis (Tape Stuck in Magazine)
If the picker failed while pulling a cartridge out of a slot and the cartridge is still partially seated in the magazine slot, you may need to manually move the picker carriage farther out from the slot along the toothed gears (Z-axis) on the picker. 1 Ensure the library is turned off and unplugged from the power source. 2 Make sure the picker fingers are horizontal (pointing toward each other, as when gripping a cartridge), as shown in Figure 26. You cannot move the picker all the way to the end of its travel unless the picker fingers are horizontal. To make them horizontal, rotate the picker finger drive gear downward.
60
Chapter 2: Lodged Tape Removal Instructions Recovering a Cartridge by Removing Top Cover of Library
3 Press down on the donut-shaped Carriage Release button located on the top of the picker near the center (see Figure 27). You can press down anywhere on this donut, but it is easiest to depress if you press down in the notch between the Spring Arm and the center post. You need to use a tool to do this. The tool can be a paper clip, a small flat-blade screwdriver, or other similar blunt instrument that will not break off (see Figure 28). Be careful not to drop the tool down into the library. Press down until the Carriage Release Button clicks and stays depressed (locked).

Spring arm
4 You can now move the picker carriage back and forth along the pickers toothed gears (Z-axis). It should move smoothly with some resistance. If it does not, then stop. Do not attempt to move the picker carriage in any other direction. 5 When finished, you must remember to unlock the Carriage Release Button. Use the same tool you used to lock the Carriage Release Button. Place the end of the tool in the notch between the post and the spring arm (see Figure 28). Gently press the tool downward and also outward on the spring arm (toward the outside of the button) until you hear or feel a small snap as the latch releases. The Carriage Release Button should be flush with the top of the picker. If it stops part way up, you can wiggle the picker to cause the button to pop all the way up.
62
Chapter 2: Lodged Tape Removal Instructions Recovering a Cartridge by Removing Top Cover of Library
Caution: If you forget to unlock the carriage release button, then when power is restored, the picker will fail to initialize. 6 Remove the tool. 7 The carriage release button should no longer be depressed. Make sure the picker carriage is locked by gently trying to move it along the z-axis. It should not move. If it moves, you did not properly lock the button.
Sliding the Picker Along the X-axis (Cartridge Stuck in Drive and Attached to Picker)
You might need to do this if the tape cartridge is stuck in the tape drive and still attached to the picker. Use your hands to slide the picker toward the front or back of the library as necessary. When pulling/pushing the picker, there are two locations you can use (see Figure 29). Push or pull on two of the picker corners where they sit on the metal side rods of the Y-tray. Push or pull on either the two front points or the two rear points at the same time. Push or pull on the metal base of the picker. Stay close to the center of the picker to avoid torquing the picker. Caution: Do not pull on the belt. Do not push or pull on the picker card.

Chapter 2: Lodged Tape Removal Instructions Recovering a Cartridge by Removing Top Cover of Library
During normal operations, the picker swivels 180 degrees to access slots on both sides of the library. In some error situations, you may need to swivel the picker manually, although it is unlikely. To swivel the picker, lift up on the Theta Release Gear located behind the carriage (the gear has a spring visible on top of it). As you lift the Theta Release Gear, simultaneously hold down the top of the screw to stabilize the picker (otherwise you will torque the picker). Holding the Theta Release Gear up and the screw down, swivel the picker. The picker should swivel easily and without resistance. If it does not, then stop. See Figure 30 and Figure 31.

This procedure is different depending on which tape drive you have. This section covers: Manually Unloading the HP LTO-4 or LTO-5 Half-Height Tape Drive on page 68 Manually Unloading the HP LTO-4 Full-Height Tape Drive on page 70
1 Remove the drive sled from the library. Caution: Do not remove the tape drive from the sled assembly! 2 Place the drive sled on its side with the bottom of the drive sled facing you and the front of the drive facing towards the left. The load motor drive shaft is at the top left and has a 6 mm molded hexagon for manual operation of the load mechanism (see Figure 32). Caution: Do NOT place the drive upside down (so that it is lying on the top cover of the drive sled). The drive must be positioned on its side for this entire procedure until the tape cartridge is ejected. 3 Make sure the load motor drive shaft hex nut is in a fully clockwise position. Normally the hex is in the correct position; this step ensures that it is in the correct position. Using a 6 mm socket or nutspinner, gently rotate the load motor hex clockwise as far as possible (there is no hard stop, but the gear will begin to spring back). This positions the grabber into the parking position. Note that the grabber may already be positioned in the parking position, so the load motor may not rotate. Caution: The load motor should turn very easily. To avoid damage, do not use excessive force. 4 You can now unthread the tape. Read this entire step first before beginning.
68
Chapter 2: Lodged Tape Removal Instructions Recovering a Cartridge by Removing Top Cover of Library
Note: This step is very difficult, because you must keep tension on the load motor hex nut while at the same time rotating the front reel motor, with the tape drive on its side. Using two people is ideal; otherwise, hold the hex nut fully clockwise with one hand while turning the front reel motor with the other. a Keep the hex nut under very light tension while performing this step. b Use the T-6 or T-8 Torx driver to rotate the front reel motor clockwise (see Figure 32). Use both hands on the Torx driver to keep the front reel rotating in a steady, continuous motion. A jerky, stop/start motion can cause tape loops to form and may prevent a complete unthread. c You will hear clicking noises as the buckle comes off of the takeup reel and moves through the tape drive read/write head area. Rotate until you hear a final click and there is resistance to further motion. The front reel motor will stop rotating clockwise when the tape is completely unthreaded and the tape leader is successfully parked. If a significant length of tape is threaded, this step could take a long time (up to 2,500 rotations to fully rewind if the tape is completely threaded). Note: You need to use a significant amount of torque to hear the click of the tape leader pin being parked in the cartridge. Note: If you have a hard time parking the tape leader pin, you may need turn the load motor drive shaft fully clockwise (again) while trying to park the pin. d Once you hear the final click, release the tension on the hex nut. 5 Turn the load motor drive shaft counter-clockwise using the 6 mm socket or nut-spinner until the cartridge is fully ejected. There will be some resistance as the cartridge comes free of the magnet. This resistance must be overcome to fully eject the cartridge. 6 Remove the cartridge by hand.

7 Inspect the tape cartridge per Figure 22 on page 51. If the tape cartridge passes the inspection, you can re-import into the library later.
1 Remove the drive sled from the library. Caution: Do not remove the tape drive from the sled assembly! 2 Orient the drive on its side with the front of the drive facing toward the left as shown in Figure 33 below. 3 Turn the RD thumbwheel (shown in Figure 33 below) by hand towards back of drive as far as possible (there is no hard stop, but the wheel will begin to spring back). This positions the grabber into the parking position. Note that the grabber may already be positioned in the parking position.
70
Chapter 2: Lodged Tape Removal Instructions Recovering a Cartridge by Removing Top Cover of Library
4 Using a T-10 torx driver, rotate the front reel motor (shown in Figure 33 below) clockwise as far as possible.This unthreads the tape. The front reel motor will stop rotating clockwise when the tape is completely unthreaded and the tape leader is successfully parked. If a significant length of tape is threaded, this step could take a long time (up to 2,500 rotations to fully rewind if the tape is completely threaded). 5 Turn the RD thumbwheel (shown in Figure 33 below) by hand towards front of drive until cartridge is fully ejected. There will be some resistance as the cartridge comes free of the magnet. This will need to be overcome to get the cartridge in the fully ejected position. 6 Remove the cartridge by hand. 7 Inspect the tape cartridge per Figure 22 on page 51. If the tape cartridge passes the inspection, you can re-import into the library later.

3 Prepare to gain access to the bezel screws (see Figure 49 on page 104 and Figure 50 on page 105 for locations). The method depends upon how your library is installed. Follow the instructions in the table below that correspond to your library installation. If your library is... Installed in a rack high enough to access to the bottom bezel screws Installed in a desktop kit Follow these steps... Unscrew all the thumbscrews that secure the library to the rack (the Scalar i40 has two thumbscrews; the Scalar i80 has four). See Figure 50 on page 105. Release the desktop cover by removing two screws at rear of the desktop cover, then slide the desktop cover toward the back of the library two or three inches. Remove the library from the rack (see Removing the Library From a Rack on page 92).
Installed very low in a rack so that you cannot access the bottom bezel screws unless you remove the library from the rack
4 Slide the library one-to-two inches forward out of the rack or over the edge of the table or desk in order to access the two bottom bezel screws. WARNING: Only slide the library out far enough out to access the two screws on the bottom of the library. The library is not secured in the rack or on the desk. Pulling it out too far could cause the library to slide out of the rack or off the desk. Caution: Ensure there is enough slack in the power cords and cables connected in the rear of the library so that you do not dislodge them when you slide the library forward. Caution: Do not tip the library or tilt it on its side.
5 Make sure all the magazines are pulled out a few inches (or removed) to allow you to remove and install the bezel without damaging it.

9 Install the new bezel straight onto the library. Do not tip or twist the bezel. If magazines are still in the library, be careful not to scratch or damage the bezel as you install it. Slide the top and bottom edges of the bezel to the inside of the top and bottom layers of the chassis sheet metal. On the Scalar i80, press in near the center on both sides of the bezel until you hear it snap into place (see Figure 51 for locations). Caution: Make sure the power button and all four operator panel control buttons appear through the holes in the bezel and are not trapped beneath the bezel.
Caution: Be careful not to accidentally hit the power button and turn the library off while you are installing the bezel. 10 Install the two top screws, then the two bottom screws. 11 Reinstall the library in the rack or desktop kit. 12 Close all the magazines. 13 If you turned the library off to perform this procedure, turn it ON now by pressing the power button on the front panel. Wait until the library initializes before resuming library operations.
106
14 If you removed the library from the rack to perform this procedure, run the Installation and Verification Test (IVT) to ensure the Y-tray, tape drives, and magazines are all functioning properly. From the operator panel, select Tools > IVT and follow the instructions on the screen. The IVT takes about 30 minutes. See Running the Installation and Verification Test (IVT) on page 211 for more information about the IVT. If any problems are detected, the library issues a diagnostic ticket.

Procedure
When you replace a library chassis, you will remove all the components from your existing library and install them in the new library. 1 Unpack the new library chassis and place it on a flat, level surface. 2 Verify that the new chassis is the same type (Scalar i40 or Scalar i80) as the unit you are replacing. 3 If you had license keys installed on your library, you will need to install new ones on the replacement library. Contact Quantum Support to request new license keys. 4 If the library you are replacing is still turned on and operational, shut down the library by selecting Actions > Shutdown from the operator panel. 5 Turn OFF the library by pressing the power button on the front panel. 6 Disconnect the power supply cord, the Ethernet cable, and all tape drive cables from the back of the library. If you have multiple tape drives, label the cables so you can reconnect them to the correct tape drives later. 7 Remove all of the following components from the library (see Figure 52 on page 110).
Instructions Caution: Make sure the power supply is unplugged and disconnected from live power before you remove it.
1 Disconnect the power cord from the back of the power supply. 2 Unscrew the captive thumbscrews. 3 Pull outward on the power supply handle to remove it from the library. System Control Board (SCB) 1 Loosen the two captive thumbscrews on the SCB. 2 Grip the thumbscrews and pull outward to slide the SCB out of the library. 3 Place the SCB on an anti-static surface or in an anti-static bag.
108
Instructions 1 Label each tape drive with its location in the library slots. It is recommended that you reinstall the tape drives in the same location in the new chassis. 2 Unscrew the captive thumbscrews securing the tape drive sled to the back of the library. Half-height tape drives have two thumbscrews. Full-height tape drives have four thumbscrews. 3 Using the handle, pull the drive sled out of the library. It should slide out smoothly and easily.
Filler Plates
Remove all filler plates (tape drive and power supply). 1 Unscrew the two captive thumbscrews. 2 Pull the filler plate out.
Magazines
1 If your library is a Scalar i80, label the magazines so you can reinstall them in the same slots. 2 Insert the magazine lock override tool into the access hole in the bottom of the magazine bezel. 3 Use the tool to depress the release latch while gently pulling outward on the magazine bezel handle. If the magazine is on the right side, it will only slide out as far as the I/E station. To release the magazine fully: On the Scalar i40 and the bottom right magazine of the Scalar i80, reach under the open magazine and insert the tool directly into the access hole in the library chassis to depress the release latch, while pulling out on the magazine bezel handle. On the top right magazine of the Scalar i80, reach under the open magazine and press the release latch directly with your finger, while pulling out on the magazine bezel handle.

8 If the library is in a desktop kit or rack, remove it. To remove the library from a rack, unscrew the captive thumbscrews on the front of the library that secure the library to the rack, then slide the library out of the rack. Place the library on a flat, stable surface. WARNING: Two people are required to safely lift the library out of a rack.
110
To remove the library from a desktop kit, remove the two top cover screws at the rear of the top cover. Loosen the captive thumbscrews on the library chassis that are attached to the side panels of the desktop kit. Slide the side panels one-half inch toward the rear of the library to disengage the side-panel posts from the library wall, then pull the side panels off. Do NOT remove the eight rubber feet installed on the bottom of the library (you will remove them later, in Step c, Sub-Step c on page 113, once the library is set on its side). 9 Remove the Y-tray restraint from the replacement chassis.The Y-tray restraint consists of four (4) thumbscrews, a plastic sheet, a small metal clip, and underneath the plastic sheet, an orange restraint tab (see Figure 53). a Unscrew and remove the four thumbscrews from the top cover. Save the thumbscrews for use in restraining the Y-tray in the chassis you are returning. b Remove the plastic sheet and metal clip and discard. You will not need to use them again. c IMPORTANT: Remove the orange shipping restraint tab and discard. You will not need to use it again.
111
Note: The Y-tray may stay at the top of the library, or it may move downward toward the floor of the library. If it moves downward, you will hear the gears turning as it moves. This is normal. 10 Restrain the Y-tray in the chassis being returned as follows (see Figure 54 on page 113): a Look through the magazine slot openings to be sure the Y-tray is resting on the floor of the library. If not, reach inside and gently press down on one of the Y-trays side metal rods until the Y-tray starts moving. It should drift down to rest on the floor of the library. b Turn the library carefully on its side (either the left or right side). Make sure the front end of the library (the rack ear) overhangs the edge of the table so that the library lies flat. Caution: Do not turn the library upside down. Do not turn the library more than 90 degrees from upright.
112
c If your library was installed in a desktop kit, remove the eight rubber feet installed on the bottom of the library. You can remove them by twisting them as you pull them out. Save them to use on the replacement chassis. d Take the four thumbscrews you just removed from the replacement chassis and install them into the floor of the chassis you are returning in the locations shown in Figure 65. They will screw through the Y-tray and secure it in place on the floor of the chassis. e Do NOT turn the library back to an upright position at this point. Leave it on its side until you place it in the box. Caution: If you place the library upright with the Y-tray restraint thumbscrews installed, you could damage the chassis or the Y-tray.
113
11 If desired, you may cover the holes in the replacement library top cover with stickers, which are provided in the accessory kit for this purpose. This step is optional and is intended to prevent small objects from accidentally falling into the library through the holes. 12 Install the new chassis in a rack or desktop kit. For instructions, see Installing the Rack Mount Kit (Rail Kit) on page 79 or Installing the Library in a Desktop Kit on page 93. WARNING: Two people are required to safely lift the library. 13 Install the components you removed from the old chassis into the new chassis.
Instructions Install the SCB before you install the power supply. 1 Position the SCB for installation: The board components face up. The flat part of the board faces down. The thumbscrews are on the upper side of the SCB back plate. 2 Install the new SCB by pushing the SCB into the slot until it stops. It should slide smoothly and easily. When it reaches the end of its travel, press firmly on the back panel of the SCB to snap it into place. 3 Tighten the two thumbscrews finger tight. 4 Connect the Ethernet cable to the LEFT Ethernet port (as viewed from the back of the library; see Figure 55 on page 117).

Instructions If your library is a Scalar i80 and you have only one power supply, install it in the top slot. If you have two power supplies, install them both. Caution: Make sure the power supply is unplugged and disconnected from live power before you install it.
1 Push the power supply straight into the slot. You may need to press firmly on the power supply sheet metal at the very end to plug in the power supply to the connector on the library. You will feel it snap into place. The power supply only goes in one way, and should slide in easily. If you cannot slide it in, you may be trying to install it upside down. 2 Tighten the two thumbscrews finger tight. 3 Connect the power cord to the power supply. 4 Plug the power cord into a grounded AC outlet.
115
Instructions 1 Insert the tape drives into the same drive slots they were in the old chassis. The shelf on the bottom of the drive sled fits into the notch in the library chassis and slides on the plastic guide rails. The tape drive must be level to slide in smoothly. At the very end of the slide, you will feel a slight click as the tape drive sled connector connects into its mating connector in the library chassis.
2 Tighten the tape drives captive thumbscrews finger tight to secure the tape drive to the library chassis. 3 Connect all tape drive cables as they were in the old unit. Make sure they are connected to the host or switch as they were before. For full-height Fibre Channel tape drives, the cable must go in the LEFT connector (as viewed from the back of the library; see Figure 55 on page 117). Filler Plates Make sure every empty power supply slot and tape drive slot is covered with a filler plate. 1 Slide the filler plate into the slot. 2 Tighten the thumbscrews.

14 Turn ON the library by pressing the power button on the front panel. 15 Wait for the library to initialize. This can take up to 5 to 17 minutes, depending on library size. 16 You will notice the library has a new diagnostic ticket (DT042) stating the librarys vital product data (VPD) has changed. 17 Since the VPD change is caused by the intentional library chassis replacement, follow the Diagnostic Ticket resolution steps to reconfigure the host application accordingly. 18 If you had license keys installed on the old library, install the new license keys. From the operator panel, select Setup > License Installation; or from the Web client, select Setup > License. For further directions, see the users guide. 19 Run the Installation and Verification Test (IVT) to ensure the Y-tray, tape drives, and magazines are all functioning properly. From the operator panel, select Tools > IVT and follow the instructions on the screen. The IVT takes about 30 minutes. See Running the Installation and Verification Test (IVT) on page 211 for more information about the IVT. If any problems are detected, the library issues a diagnostic ticket. 20 Save the library configuration (from the Web client, select Tools > Save/Restore Configuration and save the configuration to a known location). 21 Wrap the removed chassis in the antistatic wrapping that contained the replacement chassis. Package the removed chassis using the packaging that contained the replacement chassis. Use the enclosed RMA information to send the chassis back to Quantum. 22 If your library is running SKM, you must you run a special script on the SKM server after you replace the chassis. The script will correct the library serial number associations in the key server database and allow you to export used SKM encryption keys via the Web client correctly. For instructions, refer to the chapter titled Updating the SKM Keystore After Replacing a Library Control Module in the Scalar Key Manager 2.0 Users Guide.

3 Tighten the tape drives captive thumbscrews finger tight to secure the tape drive to the library chassis. The tape drive LED illuminates red for up to 30 seconds. Then the tape drive fan starts and the LED turns amber, indicating the tape drive is offline. If this is a new installation (not a replacement), the tape drive will come online automatically. 4 Connect the tape drive cable from the tape drive to the host. 5 If the firmware on the newly installed tape drive is different from the standard configured on the library, the library will automatically autolevel the new tape drives firmware upon installation (for more information, see the users guide). Autoleveling takes about 7 minutes. A message appears on the operator panel indicating autoleveling is taking place. If autoleveling is not required, the tape drive takes about 2 minutes to come ready.

5 Carefully lift off the top cover of the library. 6 Look at the position of the picker carriage on the Y-tray. It needs to be in a particular position and orientation or it will not fit in the shipping packaging. If it is not in the proper position, you should move it into the proper position now, before you remove the Ytray from the library. You may need to make adjustments to the position once the Y-tray is in the packaging, but it is easier to do it while the Y-tray is still in the library. 7 This step contains an explanation of the proper position, followed by Figure 69, which shows the proper position and orientation of the Y-tray in its packaging. If you need to move the picker, follow the instructions in the sections indicated below.
154
Chapter 4: Installing, Removing, and Replacing FRUs Replacing the Y-tray with Robot
The picker arms must be parallel to the front of the library. For instructions, see Swiveling the Picker (Theta Axis) on page 175. The picker must be near the center of the robots X-axis, so that, when placed in the packaging, the picker carriage is cradled by the two foam squares on the underside of the top foam.

162
Chapter 4: Installing, Removing, and Replacing FRUs Replacing the Y-tray with Robot
6 Connect the Y-axis flex cable to the adapter board on the Y-tray as follows. Caution: Do not twist or kink the cable. a Unlock the ZIF connector on the Y-tray adapter board (push up on the locking mechanism; see Figure 75). b Make sure the cable orientation is correct. There is a blue stiffener on one side of the cable. The electrical contacts are on the other side of the cable. The blue stiffener should face you when you push the end of the cable into the ZIF connector (see Figure 75). The cable is folded. The long side of the cable should face toward you, and the short side faces the board so that when you plug it in, the cable hangs down as shown in Figure 77. c Push the cable into the ZIF connector. There is a black alignment mark at the end of the cable, on the blue stiffener. Push the flex cable in until the black alignment mark disappears. d Make sure you install the connector straight (perpendicular). This is indicated by the blue stiffener. It should be straight and not angled (see Figure 76). e Lock the ZIF connector (push down with your finger or fingernail). Caution: If you install the cable crooked, the cable might short out and become damaged. If this happens, the cable may start to smoke. If you see smoke, shut off the library and order a new Y-tray FRU. You will need to replace the entire Y-tray assembly.

7 Secure the Y-axis flex cable with a strain relief clip, following one of the two scenarios described below. Scenario One: There is no strain relief pre-installed on the Ytray adapter board: Install the strain relief clip (provided in the kit) onto the replacement Y-tray adapter board, securing the Y-axis flex cable. Snap in both sides. Discard the old strain relief clip. See Figure 77. Caution: Use the new white strain relief clip provided in the kit. Do not reuse the old clip as it may be defective.
165
Chapter 4: Installing, Removing, and Replacing FRUs Replacing the Y-tray with Robot
Scenario Two: A strain relief is pre-installed on the Y-tray adapter board: Open the strain relief clip from the right side, place the Y-axis flex cable inside the clip, and close the top of the clip, pressing the right side in firmly so that it locks into place. See Figure 78. Note: Color of the clip may vary.
8 Lay the flex cable gently on top of the Y-tray as shown in Figure 72 on page 159. 9 Adjust the Y-climber gears into the proper position. There are four Y-climber gears. If one is in the proper position, all will be, so you only need to check one of the gears. You can adjust the Y-climber gear by rotating the Y-axis transmission gear that is located closest to the back of the library. See Figure 80 on page 168. Note: The Y-climber gear must be in the proper position or the Ytray will not lower into the library correctly. This is a keying feature that makes sure the Y-tray is aligned properly as it moves up and down.
166
Chapter 4: Installing, Removing, and Replacing FRUs Replacing the Y-tray with Robot
The following descriptions, along with Figure 79 and Figure 80, will help you orient the gear properly: The two flat sides of the Y-climber gear must be vertical. The tab boss must be pointing in a downward direction. Depending on which gear you are looking at, it should either be in the 5 o-clock position or the 7 oclock position. The center of the gear, when viewed head on, presents a smiley face appearance. The partial circle in the center is round at the bottom and horizontal at its top.

10 Using the lift tabs shown in Figure 73, lift the Y-tray and gently set it into the top opening of the library. Take care not to snag the flex cable or drop the cable or Y-tray into the library. Set the Y-tray in lightly so you don't skip a tooth. The Y-tray should settle into position. Make sure it looks level. 11 The Y-tray may start moving downward on its own. If it does not, use your fingers to rotate the Y-axis transmission gear that is closest to the back of the library (see Figure 80 on page 168). Rotate the gear toward the back of the library. The Y-tray should start to move downward on its own shortly after you start to rotate the gear. Note: The Y-axis transmission gear has a spring loaded feel. Once you move it about one-eight of a rotation, if you let go of the gear, it will spring back to its original position, and the Y-tray will move back up. It may be best to use two fingers to rotate the Y-axis transmission gearone finger to rotate the gear and the other finger to hold the gear in placeso that the gear doesnt spring back. Caution: If the Y-tray does not drift downward on its own after one revolution of the Y-axis transmission gear, do not force it further. Lift up on the lift tabs, remove the Y-tray from the library, and re-examine the tab boss orientation. Start again at Step 9 on page 166. 12 Thread the Y-axis flex cable through the top hole in the bulkhead (see Figure 82). Caution: Do not pull the cable over the top of the bulkhead. The cable must be threaded through the hole as shown.
169

15 Perform a power-up test to verify Y-tray functionality, as follows: a Connect the power cord to the power supply on the back of the library. Plug in the other end of the cord to a grounded AC outlet. b Press the power button on the front panel of the library. c Confirm that the X-axis encoder on the front of the robot glows bright red. The X-axis encoder is located behind the library front panel, on the right side as you face the front of the library (see Figure 83). If the X-axis encoder does not light up, turn off the library, unplug the power cord, and re-check the Y-axis cable connections. d The robot will start to go through its homing process. Watch it as it moves and make sure that it goes through all of the following directional motions (see Figure 83): X-axis: The picker moves from the front to the rear of the library. Y-axis: The entire robot moves up and down Z-axis: The picker moves back and forth along the width of the Y-tray. Theta axis: The robot rotates 180 degrees. Picker fingers rotate: You will hear them clicking. Note: If the robot is unable to complete one or more directional movements, turn off library power and disconnect the power cord. Examine the Y-axis flex cable and make sure it is connected correctly on the library back plane and the Y-tray adapter board. Note: If the robot starts initializing, it will recognize that tape drives and magazines are missing, and the library will generate diagnostic tickets. If this happens, close the tickets later.

If a customer gets a not ready message on the operator panel at startup, it means the robot cannot move. If the not ready message occurs upon initial installation (first time out of the box or after a chassis replacement), make sure the customer has removed the Y-tray restraint and properly released the robot (see Removing the Y-tray Restraint and Releasing the Y-tray at Initial Install on page 35). If the robot has been properly released, or this has happened at a time other than initial startup, check for diagnostic tickets and follow their resolutions. You can also power cycle the library to try to clear the error.
The Web client user interface includes a header that contains the company logo, product name, and the three main navigation buttons (Home, Help, and Logout). In addition, a message in the header alerts you when the library is not ready. (No message displays in the header when the library is in a ready state.) Library not ready messages continue to display in the header until the issue has been resolved, and the robot has completed its calibration. If the library displays a not ready message, you may be able to tell from the message how to remedy the situation. If not, the library generates a diagnostic ticket whenever the library enters a not ready state. The diagnostic ticket may provide information that can help you troubleshoot the problem. For more information, see Chapter 7, Diagnostic Tickets and Resolutions.

Interpreting LEDs
LEDs provide a visual indication about the status of certain library components. LEDs can sometimes communicate that a problem exists when diagnostic tickets cannot. The following components of the library have LEDs: Front panel System control board (SCB) Tape drives Power supplies
There are two LEDs on the front panel, above the power button. They function as follows: LED Location Power-on LED (closest to power button) Ticket indicator LED. (farthest from power button) Color Green Indicates Library power is ON.
Amber
The LED is illuminated when at least one open or unopened diagnostic ticket exists.
206
The SCB has one health status LED. In addition, each Ethernet port contains two LEDs, a green activity indicator and an amber link indicator. The Ethernet port closest to the center of the library is for customer use. The Ethernet port farthest from the center of the library is for service use only. LED SCB Health Status LED Ethernet Port Green LED (Activity Indicator) Color Green Red Green Indicates Healthy and operational. Failure. Replacement required. This LED illuminates when actual traffic is being sent over the Ethernet cable. The LED may be blinking or on solid; it blinks more rapidly the more traffic is being sent over the connection. When the LED is lit, communications are in process and when the LED is off no communication is occurring. This LED illuminates solidly when a link is established, and will be off when no link is present. Link means an Ethernet cable is connected and the other end of the cable is also connected to another powered-up and operational Ethernet device.
Amber
207
The library supports SAS and Fibre Channel tape drives. The drive sled LEDs for each are described below.
SAS
SAS Tape Drive Sleds have one LED that indicates the following: Color Green Amber Red Indicates Healthy and operational. Tape drive is offline. Failure. Replacement required.
Fibre Channel
Fibre Channel tape drive sleds have two LEDs on their rear panel, indicated on the drive sled as STATUS and LINK (see Figure 89). LED Status Color Green Amber Red Link Green Indicates Healthy and operational. Tape drive is offline. Failure. Replacement required. On solid Fibre Channel link is present Flashing Fibre Channel link is present and communications are in process Off No Fibre Channel link is currently present.

Chapter 7
The library uses advanced problem detection, reporting, and notification technology to alert you of problems as soon as they occur. The library performs numerous self-tests to monitor the librarys operations. It performs these self-tests each time the library is powered on and during normal operation when the library is idle. If the self-test detects a problem, the library generates a diagnostic ticket that identifies the component that is likely causing the problem. If the problem is not severe, the library continues to provide full functionality to all unaffected partitions. When possible, the library provides instructions for resolving problems. These instructions appear on the librarys remote Web client. Customers can frequently resolve a simple problem themselves, but if the problem is complex or involves a field replaceable unit (FRU), the customer must contact Quantum Support. Diagnostic tickets can be e-mailed to Quantum Support for diagnosis, as can the library snapshot. For details about the snapshot, see Capturing Snapshots of Library Information on page 202.

DT011
DT011 - RCS Auto-Level Failure Description GUI Description: The robotics firmware auto-leveling process failed to update either the robot or imager flash image. Explanation: The normal firmware auto-level process for robotics was not successful. Each time the robot is initialized, the firmware level of the robot is checked to be consistent with the level required by the main library firmware. If the level is not correct, the robotics firmware will be up-leveled or down-leveled accordingly. Failure in this process to update to the correct robotics firmware level results in the generation of this ticket. Detection Scenarios The Robot Controller Board could not perform one of the following operations: Successfully receive the entire firmware image. Validate the received flash image. Program its flash with the XY Motion Board flash image. Program its flash with the Picker Board flash image. Program its imager with the Imager firmware image. Root Causes Communication errors between SCB and RCS. Communication errors between the XY Motion Board and the Picker Board. Flash Image CRC failure on the received file. Hardware failures that result in unsuccessful flash programming. FOTO FPGA failed to assert the FOTO_DONE signal after programming and reset. Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs Perform DR011 - RCS Auto-Level Failure on page 343. Note: Read and perform all resolution steps before dispatching any parts. Dispatch the first part listed below for replacement. If this does not solve the problem, dispatch the second part, and so on, in order.

DT015
DT015 - RCS Move Failure Description GUI Description: The robot failed to move a tape cartridge due to an axis motion problem or obstruction. Explanation: An X, Y, Theta motion failure occurred that may or may not be caused by an obstruction. A move failure always implies tape cartridge presence (versus a motion failure which implies a tape cartridge is not present), so since a tape is in the picker, tape recovery must be part of the resolution strategy. Detection Scenarios An RCS defined error condition, due to a specified move in the X axis not completing. An RCS defined error condition, due to a specified move in the Y axis not completing. An RCS defined error condition, due to a specified move in the Theta axis not completing. Root Causes Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs An RCS defined error condition indicating a motion control issue or failure. 1 Perform DR015 - RCS Move Failure on page 347. 2 If a cartridge is stuck, perform Lodged Tape Removal Instructions on page 43. Note: Read and perform all resolution steps before dispatching any parts. Dispatch the first part listed below for replacement.

DT016
DT016 - RCS Motion Failure Description GUI Description: The robot failed to perform a motion due to an axis motion problem or obstruction. Explanation: An X, Y, Z or Theta motion failure occurred that may or may not be caused by an obstruction. A motion failure always implies that a tape cartridge is not present (versus a move failure which implies a tape cartridge is present), so since a tape is not in the picker, tape recovery is not required as part of the resolution strategy. Detection Scenarios An RCS defined error condition, due to a specified motion in the X axis not completing. An RCS defined error condition, due to a specified motion in the Y axis not completing. An RCS defined error condition, due to a specified motion in the Z axis not completing. An RCS defined error condition, due to a specified motion in the Theta axis not completing. Root Causes Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs An RCS defined error condition indicating a motion control issue or failure. 1 Perform DR016 - RCS Motion Failure on page 348. 2 If a cartridge is stuck, perform Lodged Tape Removal Instructions on page 43.

DT020 - RCS Get Failure Description GUI Description: The robot appears operational, but failed to properly pick a tape cartridge from the source element. Explanation: The library cannot successfully get a tape cartridge from a drive, storage or I/E (I/O) location. The final resting place of the tape cartridge is suspect/unknown. All recovery options have been exhausted. Fundamental servo control seems to be an issue, resulting in the library reporting a NOT READY library condition. Detection Scenarios An RCS defined error condition, indicating that a Get operation was not successful, recovery failed and the tape cartridge may not be properly seated in the picker or source element. Picker has bad y gears so it is not at the height it thinks it is at. A variety of picker problems such as slipping gears, encoder and servo control issues, etc. Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs 1 Perform DR020 - RCS Get Failure on page 352. 2 If a cartridge is stuck, perform Lodged Tape Removal Instructions on page 43.

DT022
DT022 - RCS Get Problem Description GUI Description: The robot failed to pick a tape cartridge from a source element, but robotic operation remains functional. Explanation: The library cannot successfully get a tape from a drive, storage or I/E (I/O) location. The tape cartridge is still resting in the source location. The robot is operational and can continue operation. Detection Scenarios Root Causes An RCS defined error condition, indicating that the picker cannot get a tape from the source location. An obstruction that prevents the picker fingers from getting into the tape grooves. A bad tape that is jammed and stuck in the slot. A damaged slot or drive that will not release the tape. A magazine partially removed but sensors still showing magazine presence.

DT023
DT023 - RCS Cartridge Presence Description GUI Description: The robot appears operational, but a tape is stranded in the picker mechanism and its origin is not known. Explanation: RCS sensors signal tape cartridge presence but the robot is logically not expecting any cartridge presence. Robot operation seems functional, but the tape cartridge cannot be returned to its home or source location, nor can it be placed into an alternate or destination slot. Detection Scenarios An RCS defined error condition, indicating that the robot initialized and discovered that the tape presence sensor detected a tape cartridge, yet a cartridge home location is not known. An RCS defined error condition, indicating that the system has tried to recover from a Put failure and tried to return the tape to a home slot, however the home slot recovery logic completed without recovery options, such as a source slot being a drive or the import/export area being open, full, or not installed. An RCS defined error condition, indicating that the tape presence sensor and sensing circuit is falsely representing the presence of a tape cartridge. Root Causes Power loss during move with media and library logic cannot legitimately return it to the proper cell. Power loss during move with media and the robot fails during recovery operations. Physical contamination such as dust and debris on the sensor gives a false full state Various electrical failures Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs 1 Perform DR023 - RCS Cartridge Presence on page 355. 2 If a cartridge is stuck, perform Lodged Tape Removal Instructions on page 43.

DT024
DT024 - RCS Cartridge Loss Description GUI Description: The library determined that a tape cartridge was lost during a move operation, requiring manual intervention to recover the tape cartridge from its current location. Explanation: The library detected a condition where a tape cartridge move operation did not succeed and the location of the tape cannot be determined or verified. The most likely cause for this ticket is that a move operation to or from a drive resulted in the picker not detecting cartridge presence, while the drive also no longer reports tape presence. The location of the cartridge is no longer known and the RCS will transition to NOT READY to prevent further motion that could damage the tape cartridge. The RCS cannot transition to the READY state until the tape cartridge is found and removed from the robot's motion mechanism. Detection Scenarios Root Causes An RCS defined error condition, indicating that the location of a tape cartridge is not known. Drive reported cartridge status and RCS picker status both indicating that a tape cartridge is not present after a drive load or unload operation. 1 Perform DR024 - RCS Cartridge Loss on page 356. 2 If a cartridge is stuck, perform Lodged Tape Removal Instructions on page 43.

DT040
DT040 - VPD Information Missing Description GUI Description: The library VPD information cannot be retrieved from the primary storage location, preventing the library from proper initialization and operation. Explanation: The library failed to retrieve vital product data (VPD) information from the Operator Panel (Display Assembly Board) EEPROM storage location. VPD information is retrieved at first boot up from a cleared to ship condition in order to establish SN, WWN, brand and service tag VPD information and program the installed SCB and RCS with such data for future comparison on subsequent boot up operations to confirm that the RCS and SCB stored information matches the chassis VPD, which allows the library to determine if an SCB, RCS, or library chassis replacement occurred. Detection Scenarios At first boot up from clear to ship, the library must establish VPD information to program VPD information on the installed SCB and RCS. During subsequent boot sequences, the library can consolidate VPD information between RCS and SCB, but if the RCS is not programmed or the SCB is not programmed (due to being replaced) with VPD information, the library cannot initialize. Root Causes VPD not programmed. Operator Panel (Display Assembly) hardware or communication problem Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs Perform DR040 - VPD Information Missing on page 359.

DT042 - VPD Information Changed Description GUI Description: The librarys VPD information changed, possibly requiring host application configuration changes. Explanation: The library retrieved vital product data (VPD) information from the Operator Panel (Display Assembly Board) EEPROM storage location, but the VPD information differs from the RCS and/or SCB stored information. This Diagnostic Ticket informs the user that SCB stored configuration data may not be valid, as either and most likely the chassis was replaced and the previous SCB has been transferred to this new chassis, or an SCB from another library has been incorrectly installed in this different library. The SCB stored configuration information has not been reset. If the chassis was replaced, the configuration data is still valid and applies, however, license keys need to be re-entered in support of the new chassis serial number, and while VPD information for the library SN and WWNN will be applied and saved automatically, host application configurations may have to be updated to support the new VPD information. Detection Scenarios At boot up the library retrieved the chassis stored VPD, but the SCB stored information did not match the VPD information stored on the SCB. Library Chassis was replaced and the existing SCB from the previous library chassis was re-installed. An SCB was incorrectly installed from a different library.

Explanation: The library controller detected a failure that is associated with a library chassis component, such as invalid signal and sensor input, cabling and connection issues, or chassis configuration issues. Detection Scenarios Library firmware detects invalid or failing signal and sensor input. The SCB persistence matches chassis VPD information, but chassis signal input contradicts such 3U or 6U configuration. Chassis VPD retrieval fails and SCB persistence matches RCS VPD information, but chassis signal input contradicts the SCB assumed 3U or 6U configuration. Chassis signaling indicates 3U, but magazine presence signaling shows missing magazine number 3 and/or 4. Root Causes Defective library chassis module or internal connection issues.

Explanation: The library supports e-mail configuration to send ticket alerts and issue snapshot attachments and/or Advanced Reporting reports to a specified address via a configured SMTP e-mail server. The library will report this Diagnostic Ticket if it receives any error codes when trying to send out an e-mail. This ticket indicates an issue with the SMTP server configuration or customer network, but does not indicate a library failure. Note that the library cannot detect all errors that could occur on a network, but can determine if the e-mail was successfully sent to the mail server on the network. Detection Scenarios Any time a Diagnostic Ticket is generated and the library has been configured to generate a RAS e-mail. Any time an Advanced Reporting notification has been configured and the scheduled sending of such log(s) experiences an error. Root Causes E-mail configuration settings on the library are not correct. The library is not connected to the network. Library is plugged into the wrong network port. Network cable is damaged. E-mail server is down. Configuration error on the customer's network. Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs Perform DR055 - E-Mail Notification Error on page 365. None

DT057
DT057 - Cartridge Inventory Error Description GUI Description: The library control firmware performed a cartridge inventory but cannot determine proper element status of the magazine slot. Explanation: The library is attempting to determine cartridge presence at a magazine slot, but is unable to read either the magazine slot label, which if read, indicates an empty magazine slot, or fails to read a tape cartridge barcode label, which triggers a touch tape operation to determine cartridge presence. Only if such touch tape operation fails would this ticket be presented, as the library would otherwise report either ticket DT066 - Unlabeled Magazine Slot (not implemented yet), or DT074 - Unlabeled Tape Cartridge. Detection Scenarios The library imager indicates that a label was not successfully ready at a magazine slot location, either the magazine slot label or tape cartridge label, and the mechanical touch tape sense operation failed. The imager failed to read a label at a magazine slot AND the touch sense operation failed to operate. Imager issues may be caused by the following: Imager calibration issues. Imager field of view blocked. Tape cartridge barcode label improperly applied or missing. Magazine slot barcode label improperly applied or missing. Library top lid not installed, allowing too much light to enter the unit. Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs 1 Perform DR057 - Cartridge Inventory Error on page 366. 2 Power cycle the library to see if the issue recurs. If it does, replace the robot. Note: Read and perform all resolution steps before dispatching any parts. Dispatch the first part listed below for replacement.

DT058 - Insert Assignment Warning Description GUI Description: The library does not have sufficient empty storage slots available to accept all newly inserted cartridges for an import operation to storage elements. Explanation: The Auto or Manual Cartridge Assignment raised a warning because there aren't sufficient available slots in the selected partition. When a new cartridge is inserted into an I/E area, it must either be manually or automatically assigned to a library partition. In the case of a manual cartridge assignment mode, if the selected partition does not have sufficient slots available, the assignment will generate this ticket. In the case of an automatic cartridge assignment mode, this ticket will be generated when no partition has space to import a new cartridge. The library is still operational and a host application may not experience an issue at all, however, if an import will be initiated from a user interface, it will fail as not all cartridges can be moved into the assigned partition, unless cartridges get exported first. Detection Scenarios The library firmware that controls and performs tape cartridge assignments detects that there are not enough slots available in the partition(s). The logical library partition does not have enough empty storage slots available to accept all tape cartridges for an import operation. Perform DR058 - Insert Assignment Warning on page 367. None

DT059
DT059 - Auto-Cleaning Failure Description GUI Description: The library detected a problem during an automatic cleaning operation. Explanation: When the library is configured for Automatic Cleaning, tape drives requesting cleaning will be automatically cleaned. In the event the cleaning operation fails, due to various drive or cleaning cartridge issues, or even a robotic motion issue, this Diagnostic Ticket will be generated to alert the user that a drive cleaning operation did not succeed. This ticket will identify the cartridge or drive as a possible culprit, since any motion issue would cause a separate ticket identifying the RCS FRU. Detection Scenarios Root Causes No eligible cleaning cartridge found. Auto Clean mechanism fails. No cleaning cartridge available or only invalid, incorrect, missing or expired cleaning tapes available. Cartridge motion error. Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs Perform DR059 - Auto-Cleaning Failure on page 367. Note: Read and perform all resolution steps before dispatching any parts.

DT060 - Cartridge Return Failure Description GUI Description: A tape cartridge assigned to the System partition cannot be returned to its source location and may appear within an element of a logical library partition. Explanation: The library performed an operation with a system assigned tape cartridge and cannot successfully put/place a tape cartridge back to its originating location. The tape cartridge may be exposed/visible to a logical library partition and operator intervention is required to move the cartridge back to its originating source location. Detection Scenarios Root Causes The robot control code moved a system assigned cartridge but was unable to return it to the originating source location. Open I/E area. Cell is blocked by foreign material. Missing or damaged magazine. A magazine partially removed but sensors still showing magazine presence. Incorrect robot position. Drive unloading mechanism not working properly. A variety of picker problems such as slipping gears, encoder issues, etc. Damaged cartridge. Service Resolution Steps 1 Perform DR060 - Cartridge Return Failure on page 368. 2 If the library is a Scalar i80, switch out the upper and lower magazines to see if the same magazine shows as missing.

DT070
DT070 - Missing Cleaning Media Description GUI Description: A cleaning tape cartridge, configured for automatic, library-initiated cleaning operations, is missing from its cleaning slot location. Explanation: Whenever the library is configured for automatic drive cleaning, the cleaning tapes that are imported into the library are not visible to any host and are not part of any partition. Rather, they are assigned to the system partition. The user should always use the import and export cleaning tape UI functionality to move cleaning tapes in and out of the configured system cleaning slots. If the library detects during inventory that a system assigned cleaning tape has been manually removed, this Diagnostic Ticket will be used to notify the user that this cleaning resource is now missing. Detection Scenarios During a library power up inventory, a previously configured cleaning tape is no longer found. After a magazine removal and insertion, the magazine inventory operation does not locate a previously configured cleaning cartridge any longer. Root Causes A user manually removed a cleaning tape instead of exporting it with the respective UI functionality. A barcode label on a system assigned cleaning tape is not read during an inventory. Any scenario where a properly imported system cleaning tape which has not yet been properly exported is detected to be missing based on library inventory operations. Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs Perform DR070 - Missing Cleaning Media on page 372. None

DT071 - Unknown Cleaning Media Description GUI Description: A configured cleaning slot contains an unknown tape cartridge which will not be used for automatic library-initiated drive cleaning operations. Explanation: Whenever the library is configured for automatic drive cleaning, the cleaning tapes that are imported into the library are not visible to any host and are not part of any partition. Rather, they are assigned to the system partition. The user should always use the import and export cleaning tape UI functionality to move cleaning tapes in and out of the configured system cleaning slots. If the library becomes aware during inventory that an unexpected (non-UI-imported) tape has been inserted into a cleaning slot manually, this ticket will be generated to notify the user that a cleaning slot contains a tape cartridge that will not be used for cleaning operations. Detection Scenarios During a library power up inventory, a cleaning slot contains a cartridge that has not been properly imported as a cleaning tape. After a magazine removal and insertion, the magazine inventory operation identifies a cartridge that has not been properly imported as a cleaning tape. Root Causes Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs A user manually inserted a cartridge into a magazine instead of importing it with the respective UI functionality. Perform DR071 - Unknown Cleaning Media on page 372. None

DT072
DT072 - Invalid Cleaning Media Description GUI Description: A non-cleaning tape cartridge was used to attempt a drive cleaning operation. Explanation: During a drive cleaning operation, the library determined that the tape cartridge used to clean a drive is actually not a cleaning cartridge. This ticket differs from ticket DT123 - Drive Tape Alert 23 in that this ticket will be generated anytime a non-cleaning tape is used to clean a drive, not just in the case where the drive requires cleaning and posts a Tape Alert 23. Detection Scenarios After loading a tape cartridge to clean a drive, the system notices that cleaning has not begun within 30 seconds and the tape was not automatically ejected after the allotted cleaning time period. User or library attempts to mount a cleaning tape but the tape cartridge is not actually a cleaning tape. User mistakenly loads a data tape as a cleaning tape Inventory or application issue results in data tape cartridge being loaded when the drive expects a cleaning tape.

DT073
DT073 - Unassigned Tape Cartridge Description GUI Description: A tape cartridge has been detected in a storage location that is not assigned to any partition. Explanation: After a library inventory operation, either after boot-up (library initialization) or magazine insertion, library firmware validates and tests whether any cartridges may be located in storage slots outside of any configured logical library partitions. If such condition is detected, then this tape cartridge will be inaccessible to the user and must be manually removed. This Diagnostic Ticket will be generated upon detection of the first occurrence of such condition. Detection Scenarios Root Causes Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs During inventory, a tape cartridge is found in a slot that does not belong to a logical library partition. Cartridge was manually placed into an unassigned storage slot. A partition was deleted that contained one or more tape cartridges. Perform DR073 - Unassigned Tape Cartridge on page 374. None
269
DT074
DT074 - Unlabeled Tape Cartridge Description GUI Description: The library detected an unreadable or unlabeled tape cartridge. Explanation: During library initialization, or after magazine insertion, the library performs an inventory of magazine slots. An inventory of respective magazines is also performed each time an I/E area closes or a tape drive is inserted. These inventory operations use imager reported barcode label information from the magazine slot label or tape cartridge barcode label to determine element full and empty status. If the imager does not read a label, neither a tape cartridge label nor a magazine slot label, a touch sense operation is performed to determine if a tape cartridge is present. If a cartridge is detected, this ticket is reported to alert of the unlabeled tape cartridge. The library will be able to report FULL element status and allow the cartridge to be moved but any cartridge label reference will be listing NO_LABEL on the user interface screens and a SCSI Read Element Status response will not list label/volser information at all. Detection Scenarios Root Causes Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs The imager did not read a label, and the touch sense operation found a tape cartridge. A tape cartridge does not have a barcode label attached, or the barcode label is damaged and unreadable. Perform DR074 - Unlabeled Tape Cartridge on page 375. Cartridge

DT080 - Tape Drive Type Changed Description GUI Description: A configured and assigned drive has been replaced with a drive of a different type. Explanation: A tape drive that is assigned to a partition has been replaced with a tape drive of a different type, where type is defined by the tape drive's vendor, generation and interface. This Diagnostic Ticket is generated to notify the user of the tape drive type change. The tape drive will not be made available or become ready, unless the user reconfigures the partition to accept the new drive type, by removing the currently existing and missing drive from the partition, and then adding the newly inserted drive to the partition. Note: If the drive is not assigned to a partition, this ticket SHOULD NOT be displayed. Detection Scenarios The installation of a tape drive into a powered-up library triggers a drive presence indication and a drive power up sequence allowing the library to compare the installed drive type with the current logical library partition information. On boot up the library determines drive presence and type and compares the drive type with the logical library partition information. Root Causes Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs User replaced a tape drive assigned to a partition with a tape drive of a different generation, interface or vendor type. Perform DR080 - Tape Drive Type Changed on page 376. Note: Read and perform all resolution steps before dispatching any parts. Dispatch the first part listed below for replacement.

DT082
DT082 - Tape Drive FW Invalid Description GUI Description: A tape drive firmware image is not usable for a tape drive firmware update. Explanation: During initialization or when a drive is inserted while the library is operating, the library checks the product firmware level of the installed tape drives and compares that version to the version that it stores internally in its file system. If they are not the same, the library automatically updates the tape drive with this internally stored firmware image. However, the image is missing, corrupt, or got rejected by the tape drive. Detection Scenarios The required tape drive firmware image is missing from the library software bundle. The required drive firmware image is corrupt. The automatic update of the tape drive firmware is rejected by the drive. Root Causes Missing tape drive firmware image. Corrupt tape drive firmware image. Tape drive rejecting the firmware image as being incorrect or corrupt. Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs Perform DR082 - Tape Drive FW Invalid on page 376. None

DT088 - Drive FW Update Failure Description GUI Description: A tape drive firmware update failed. Explanation: A tape drive firmware update operation failed. If the tape drive image validation succeeded, either the transfer of the image failed, or the drive did not accept the firmware due to being loaded with a tape cartridge, or the library did not detect a change in the tape drive firmware version after the tape drive re-initialized. Detection Scenarios A tape drive firmware update operation fails to successfully transfer all data to a tape drive. After a drive firmware update, the new version received from the drive does not differ from the old version. The drive did not accept the firmware image because the drive is loaded with a tape cartridge which prevents the drive from accepting the new firmware image. Root Causes The tape drive image that was used to update the tape drive either manually or via auto-leveling operations was the same as what was already installed on the drive. A firmware upgrade tape with an incompatible firmware version (wrong generation, drive type, etc.) was used. The firmware image was successfully transferred to the drive, but was not flashed properly within the tape drive. Error in drive communication, or other drive-specific error. The drive is not accepting the firmware update operation because the drive is currently loaded with a tape cartridge. (HP drive bug: LTO-4 HP drives will fail the firmware update when gen 4 media is present in the drive. The drive will successfully update the same firmware image if media is not present, or the media is less than gen 4 types.)

DT091 - Drive Unload Failure Description GUI Description: A tape drive failed to unload/eject a tape cartridge, preventing the robot from picking and moving the cartridge. Explanation: The library is expecting the drive to achieve an unloaded state but the drive does not succeed and reported an error when unloading/ejecting the tape cartridge for picker access. This Diagnostic Ticket is ONLY displayed if the tape drive was actually instructed to perform an unload operation and the drive's command response informed of an issue. In the case where the library controller code is determining that the drive is still busy for a defined wait time period and the unload request is not sent to the tape drive, this ticket shall not be generated, but rather the request to unload shall be denied as an illegal request. In the case where the command is issued but the library times out waiting for an unload response, ticket DT097 shall be reported. Note: The library will not wait for the maximum unload time defined by the drive, as drives may take up to 18 minutes before succeeding or failing the unload/eject operation. The library will only wait for 3 minutes before failing the unload request. Detection Scenarios A SCSI Move Medium was issued but the drive does not achieve an unload/eject state after being instructed to unload and eject. A UI command was issued to unload or move from a drive, but the drive does not achieve an unload/eject state after being instructed to unload and eject. Root Causes Service Resolution Steps Possible CRUs/FRUs The tape drive reports a failure and fails to unload a tape cartridge after the library issued an unload command.

DT092
DT092 - Drive Unload Prevented Description GUI Description: A host issued a SCSI Prevent/Allow Media Removal command which is preventing the drive from unloading a tape cartridge. Explanation: The library is not able to issue an unload command to the drive, because a host issued a Prevent/Allow Medium Removal SCSI command to the tape drive which prevents media removal. This Diagnostic Ticket does not convey a library problem but provides informational details regarding a failed SCSI or UI command request. Detection Scenarios Root Causes Library received a request to unload a tape drive, but tape drive status indicates that media removal is prevented. A host has issued a Prevent/Allow Medium Removal SCSI command, preventing a user to move the media from the drive. A host has issued a Prevent/Allow Medium Removal SCSI command, then reset or restarted which may have orphaned the Prevent Media Removal on the drive.

DT094 - Drive Encryption Warning Description GUI Description: A tape drive request to initiate a library managed encryption key exchange did not provide the required details to service the encryption key request. Explanation: The library controller firmware suspended Encryption Service Request (ESR) monitoring of the tape drive, due to the tape drive having indicated an ESR, but when details were requested from the tape drive, no data was provided. If this issue is encountered twice in a row, ESR monitoring will be suspended for the duration of the tape drive mount session and will be re-enabled when a new tape cartridge is mounted. Detection Scenarios Library control firmware received a drive sled event indicating that the tape drive reported an ESR, but details are not reported by the tape drive. Tape drive firmware may incorrectly report an ESR when none is outstanding, or have a valid ESR, but not have the proper encryption key request details available upon drive sled controller request.

DT183 - EKM Key Set Missing Description GUI Description: The library detected an EKM server configuration problem. Explanation: The library determined that an SKM server is not properly configured and does not contain an encryption key set (template) when a library request to retrieve a new key was made. This issue is most likely the result of a key server re-configuration or replacement without having restored encryption key data. Detection Scenarios Upon library initialization, the library detects that one of the attached key server pairs does not have a key template configured, suggesting a server replacement has been performed without restoring previous encryption key information. During library operation, a request for a new or possibly used key fails due to a missing key template, suggesting a server replacement has been performed without restoring previous encryption key information. Root Causes The library was reconfigured to contact a different EKM server which has not been preconfigured and/or proper encryption key data restored. An EKM server was replaced but the key store was not restored with backup data from the previously configured EKM server.

Explanation: The library determined that an SKM server is not properly configured and does not contain a valid key (template) pointer when a library request to retrieve a new key was made or the attempt to synchronize the key index pointer encountered an error. This issue is most likely the result of a key server re-configuration or replacement without having followed the correct recovery procedures on the library to synchronize the key pointers. Detection Scenarios During library operation, a request for a new key failed due to an unexpected key pointer being returned from a key server, suggesting a server replacement has been performed without performing the required recovery procedure on the library. During the attempt to synchronize the encryption key index pointer, an error was encountered. Root Causes An EKM server was replaced or restored without following the required procedure on the library to synchronize the encryption key (template) pointers.

DT185 - EKM Server HTTP Access Blocked Description GUI Description: The library detected a problem when connecting to the EKM server HTTP port. Explanation: The library attempted to obtain SKM server information such as the servers serial number which the library requires to complete the SKM server configuration process, but the data could not be retrieved via the HTTP protocol. This issue is most likely the result of the key server or switch/router having access to the HTTP port blocked. Detection Scenarios During the librarys SKM server configuration process, the library detects that information cannot be retrieved via the SKM server's HTTP connection path. Upon library initialization, the library detects that information cannot be retrieved via the SKM servers HTTP connection path. Root Causes The SKM server has its HTTP port disabled, blocking access to retrieve the required information. An Ethernet switch is blocking access to the SKM servers HTTP port, preventing the library from accessing required information.

DT186
DT186 - EKM Key Set Extended Description GUI Description: The library extended the encryption key set used for library managed encryption. Attached EKM servers should be backed up as soon as possible. Explanation: The library determined that the SKM server is exceeding the use of more than 80% of server generated encryption keys. For SKM GA, encryption key set generations were initiated via the user, by enabling a new or disabling and then re-enabling at least one partition for library managed encryption. With I3, automatic key generations will be performed, which if successful, shall generate this ticket to inform the user of the need to back up both SKM servers as soon as possible so that the system won't use keys form the newly created set before they have been properly backed up. Once SKM mirroring server solutions are available, this service ticket will just become informational or a warning, so the resolution can explain that a new encryption key set was generated and a disaster recovery backup of the keys should be performed at the earliest convenience. Automatic key generation should be repeated if an earlier attempt fails, and as defined in DT179, should stop trying once a threshold of 90% or 95% has been reached, in which case DT179 shall be generated to require the user to perform the key set extensions and react to any failures that may prevent the keys from getting generated. Detection Scenarios When the library detects that it exceeds usage of 80% of the last encryption key set pre-generated on the primary or secondary SKM server. Usage of encryption keys exceeds 80% of the last pre-generated encryption key set. Perform DR186- Resolve EKM Server Key Generation on page 428 None

* Media Recognition System (MRS) is a method where pre-defined stripes are placed at the beginning of the media to identify the media. The MRS stripes are read to determine if the media is of data-grade. Data-grade media should be used in SCSI streaming devices since it is of the required quality and consistency to be used to store data (i.e., audio/video grade media should not be used).
