H C5713A error messages

[Sascha Zumbusch]

Hi,

we are using an HD DDS-4 (C 5713A) autoloader and have problems attaching the tapes.

Using hp_ltt under SuSe Linux we get the following error message:

Byte2 0x2 SenseCode 0x3a SenseQual 0x0

There is no documentation showing what this kind of error message means.

Any help out there.

Regards, Sascha

I think it's the SCSI sense key codes it's trying to give you.

See (adobe file):

Probably means the drive needs replacing.
