Connect to the web interface of the library FLXE7DD8E and have a lok into the logs. Use LTT and do a drive assessment test, then pull a support ticket.

Tape Alert flag 6 is a Write Failure which is pretty serious. As Torsten indicates you need to load L&TT and run a device assessment test on drive 1.

You should try several different tapes and see if the drive is having problems writing to one tape or several tapes.
