HP MSL4048/AJ042A LTO-4 Tape drive
Hi All,
I have recently aquired a MSL4048 Tape Library, but the second tape drive in the machine seems to have failed.
It is reporting a "TapeAlert 31".
I have tried to reach out to HP support, but it appears since this machine doesn't have an active warranty, I can't even get a quote/estimate for a repair.
Is there any options to have the drive serviced, or is it a throw away and replace module?
Model: PD098-20103
P/N: AJ042A

Probably have to go to one of the aftermarket/used/refurb storage vendors to buy a used or refurb replacement drive.
spectrumdrive.com shows to have a refurb AJ042A drive in stock for $950.
Might be worth calling them to see if your failed drive has any trade-in core value.
