DLT Autoloader 718
I have a DLT 718 and I have some problems with it !
Lately one of my tapes was "jam" in the Quantum Drive ! I had to do an emergency eject to get it out but all the ribbon stayed in the drive !
So I had to open my autoloader get the tape out and put the Leader back in place !
After I was able to test the device and all the test pass !
But when I tried to do a full backup it did the same thing ! My autoloader was unable to rewind the tape and I scrap another media !
Someone has any idea what the problem is ?
& What I should do ?
Thanks

If tape's buckling ring is damaged - thow it away, if drive's leader is damaged - replace leader or whole drive

Re: DLT Autoloader 718
If your unit is out of warrenty then opening it and reattaching the leader is a good option if you are comfortable with that. Just make certain you follow the instructions Eugeny pointed you to for checking your media.
If you have a damaged tape leader those can be replaced and Quantum had them available for a while. Don't know if they do anymore. HP can only do exchanges with 718 libraries.

Re: DLT Autoloader 718
Eugeny these are interesting articles thanks !
Curtis, I already called the support and they told me my drive was finished and the only thing they can do is remplace the intire quantum drive ... like you said !
But it's not intirely true since I reput the leader in place and it worked !
And yes my drive is no longer under warranty !
One problem is the company I work for is a non profit organisation... and they don't have a big budjet so I'm strongly looking for alternative solution here.
What do you think could be my best bet ?
Remplace the leader ?
I've inspect all my cartrige and they seams to be in pretty good shape !
One thing strange I noticed is :
I'm running arcserve, SO when I start the progarm, the autoloader do an inventory check and mount all drives ! When it mount the tapes it read de first part of every media and than rewind and eject it after! Right ?
So if this part IS working... does it means my leader are fine ?
My problem is, when I do a full backup it takes 100% of the tape in the drive and THEN it's unable to rewind it back in the cartrige !!! Tapes don't have leaders at both ends ? ...
The ribbon of the tape stay in the drive only when I do an emergency eject else it's in hardware error unable to rewind the tape !
This could mean my motor isn't strong enough to rewind 100% of the drive ?
But is still working since it can mount the drives !
What do you think ?
Any other advice ?
Your help is really appreciated !
Thanks

Re: DLT Autoloader 718
The only sure fix is to replace the leader guides and sensor which can only be done by Quantum at the factory.
