Ultrium 460 External Failure
When a tape is inserted, it appears not to seat correctly. The backup software then returns an error of no tape present.
The drive was disconnected from the server and a cleaning tape inserted, the tape appeared to seat. After about 1 minute, the cleaning light came on for 5 secs & the tape ejected.
We are now getting a repeat of the tape failing to seat. The only way to remove is to power off / on when we then get a flashing drive error & tape ejects. This is repeatable.
Any ideas ??

Re: Ultrium 460 External Failure
Cannot run LTO test as we cannot get any tape to seat correctly.
HP Tech Support of of the opinion that the tape drive mechanism is defective.
