Ferenc,

Start with checking the library physically. Any error messages on the library console? Is the robot arm blocked somehow?

Check the SCSI cabling and reboot the library once. Perform afterwards an 'ioscan -fnC autoch' on the HPUX server to make sure that the OS still detects the robot arm.

best regards,
Kurt

Power reset was necessary (disconnect the power cable).
This is known failure and fix method?

Ferenc,

It is not exactly a know error and fix method.

It is just a general habbit to examine the library first when it cannot be longer operated from a server any more.

best regards,
Kurt
