authorized service representative. Using this option causes the library drive
mechanism(s) to become inactive.
Online drive replacement is an important new feature that allows:
• an authorized service representative to replace a faulty drive while the library is
active
• a user to clear a drive cleaning error when a tape that may be damaged is in the
drive
This feature should only be used by an authorized service representative. However,
if an older, frequently used tape causes a drive cleaning message to be displayed
more than once and you suspect the tape is damaged, use the “Online Repair” option
can be used to clear the drive error message so you can attempt to recover data from
the damaged tape.
To use this option to clear a drive cleaning error:
1. With CLEAN DRV # displayed, press
CANCEL until the drive status displays. (#
is the drive number containing the damaged tape.)
2. Press
NEXT until ADMIN * displays, then press ENTER.
3. Enter the three-part numerical password (see “Entering the Administration
Menu Password” on page 3-9).
4. INFO * displays. Press
