3590 Tape Drive Errors
Has anybody seen these errors before? IBM has been here many times &
replaced the read/write heads & loaded the latest micro code on the drives
but I keep getting them.

Yes - we cleaned the drive which helped but it may also be an old tape that
needs to be replaced.

Re: 3590 Tape Drive Errors
The drive is in a 3494 which is supposed to handle the cleaning (IBM set the
parameters) & the tapes are only 0 - 4 months old.

They mean the tape drive was just cleaned. You will continue to get them
each time the tape drive is cleaned.

Re: 3590 Tape Drive Errors
>Has anybody seen these errors before? IBM has been here many times & >replaced the read/write heads & loaded the latest micro code on the drives >but I keep getting them. Bruce - You can verify that the 3494 is actually doing cleanings by periodically running: mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qL where the "avail 3590 cleaner cycles" should decrement over time. Air pollution and dust don't help matters. Consider having your CE do a periodic wet cleaning (a manual task, opening the drive), and note if the problem disappears after such a cleaning, to see if cleanliness is the issue - which the TAPE_DRIVE_CLEANING record would seems to indicate.

Re: 3590 Tape Drive Errors
Hi there
Well, we had many problems with load / unload errors for out 3590 tape
drives when they were installed (also in a 3494 library). The situation
went on for months with IBM coming out and replacing just about every part
of the drives. Eventually, they realised that each drive needed some sort
of special locking spring that holds the tapes firm for the picker-arm to
get/put tapes. These springs are not necessary in stand alone drives. It
was a simple fix and we have had no problems since.
This may have nothing to do with your problem at all, but it's working
asking IBM about.
Thanks
Farren

Re: 3590 Tape Drive Errors
Since our IBM tech started replacing the cleaning brushes in our drives every 6 months the number of tape related problems we experience has dropped dramatically.

Re: 3590 Tape Drive Errors
We get them all the time and just increase the cleaning frequency and/or put a couple of new cleaning tapes in the robot. ... joe.f.
