Ultrium 448 Internal tape problem

[Flavio Carmo]

Hi folks...
My problem begans with ejecting any tapes I put in the drive, so I've found (here) tips about upgrade the firmware and use LTT tool.

I'm attaching the ltt report, any help would be appreciated.

When you expand the details of the L&TT report, it shows a few things of interest.

One is that, while temperature now is OK, in the past it reached as high as 62.1 degrees C, which is pretty warm and out-of-spec (that's 144F).

Other messages include;
- The drive has experienced a fatal head calibration error.
- Multiple errors have been reported while a cartridge is being push loaded,
...
- Please contact hp support for further assistance.

If the drive is out-of-warranty, also stated was,
- Please run the LTO Drive Assessment Test to check the operation of your drive.

I don't know if that will give you more, or more useful, information.

Hi Thomas, thanks for your answer...

I've already tried to run L&TT Assessment test, but i can't do it because the cartridge keeps ejecting as soon as I put it on drive.

The drive is out of warranty so, but I did contact with our HP sales representant and he drives me to a technical.

Any news I'll post here. thanks.
