DLT Help
I have got a HP surestore 40e DLT drive, the problem is, The handle that you push down when you insert a tape has been put down with no tape in the drive, so it is empty, pressing the eject button does not do anything, is there any way that the door can be opened (i.e software or something) i am sorry if this is a stupid post, but i have no manuals what so ever for this drive. Thank You
P.S. This thread has been moved from Storage>General to Tape Libraries and Drives. -HP Forum Moderator

Re: DLT Help
Years ago, I remember (in DATs devices), when a tape is blocked into or similar, you can do a reset pressing and holding for 1 or 2 minutes eject button. Is a stupid test, but try it.

Re: DLT Help
I believe you can pull the handle up if there is no DLT in the drive. The other choice is to switchoff the drive and pull the handle up and switch it back on if the first step does not work for you.
Hope this helps.
thanks

Re: DLT Help
Just experimented on my DLT 40e. With the driver power on, and no DLT in the drive you can raise or push down the handle. With the drive power off you can do neither. Now it is your turn.
Hope this helps.
thanks

Re: DLT Help
No that is okay. You should be seeing the drive as DLT 4000 immaterial of whether you are using interbnal drive or external drive. For the system that does not make any difference. Still i don't understand, with the drive power on, you should be able to use the handle. Did you try pressing the Eject switch and using the handle after that. It may work.
Hope this helps.
thanks

mt -t /dev/rmt/0m offl
If it is not device 0m substitute the correct device file. This tells the drive to unload a tape. I have not tried this so I can not verify if it will work. Give it a shot.
