Quantum SuperLoader 3 Software Interface Guide 4
• If initialization is successful, it generates a not-ready to ready
transition (
SK=6 ASC=28 ASCQ=00), otherwise, failure sense data is
set accordingly.
SuperLoader 3 Offline 1
When a user accesses the SuperLoader 3 via the front panel or On-board
Remote Management in such a way that would cause conflict with a SCSI
command, the SuperLoader 3 is put into an off-line state. If a SCSI
command is received while in this off-line state, a not ready check
condition is reported (
SK=02 ASC=04 ASCQ=07).
Magazine Insertion/
Removal 1
The SuperLoader 3 must be powered-on with at least one magazine,
otherwise a check condition is reported (
SK=02 ASC=04 ASCQ=03).
While the system is on-line, the user may remove a magazine blank and
replace it with a magazine. The SuperLoader 3 will calibrate the newly
installed magazine and check the presence of tape cartridges in each of
the storage elements. While this inventory is in progress, the
SuperLoader 3 will report a not-ready check condition (
SK=02 ASC=04
ASCQ=01
). Once the inventory is complete, the SuperLoader 3 reports a
unit attention (
SK=06 ASC=3B ASCQ=13).
Similarly, while a magazine is in the process of being removed, a
not-ready check condition is reported (
SK=02 ASC=04 ASCQ=07). Once the
operation is complete, by replacing the magazine with a blank a unit
attention is reported (
SK=06 ASC=3B ASCQ=12).
While one or both of the magazine bays are open, a not ready check
condition is reported (
SK=02 ASC=04 ASCQ=03).
Maximum Temperature
Exceeded 1
The SuperLoader 3 monitors the ambient temperature within the system.
If the temperature exceeds the maximum safe temperature for the media,
the SuperLoader 3 will disable all movement until the temperature
decreases below a safe threshold. While the temperature remains
excessive, SCSI commands that require movement will fail (
SK=04
ASC=0B ASCQ=01
).
