User Response: Choose one of the following based on
the event (Exxx) that is displayed:
E019, E020, E021, E036, E040, E041, E042, E043,
E044, E045, E046, E047, E048, E049, E050, E051,

E140, E141, E149, E150, E151, E152 – These errors
normally indicate a tape cartridge problem. Remove
the cartridge and examine the tape. Look for any
visible damage. Retension the tape and try again. If
the problem persists, replace the tape cartridge. If
the error still persists, contact your IBM Service
representative.
E022, E023, E027, E076, E083, E084, E085, E119,
E120, E121, E122, E123, E145, E146, E148 – These
errors normally indicate a temporary condition that
will clear itself. Wait for the tape motion to stop
before attempting the operation again.
E024 – Reboot the Store Controller.
E025 – Insert the tape cartridge in the tape drive.
E026 – This error normally indicates a user problem
caused by attempting another command to the tape
drive before a format completes. Wait for format to
complete.
E028, E030, E031, E032, E033 – These errors
normally indicate a tape drive hardware problem.
Check connections to the tape drive. If the error still
persists, contact your IBM Service representative.
E029 – Make sure there is only one tape drive
installed.
E034, E091, E092, E093, E094, E095, E096, E097,
E098, E099, E100, E166, E167, E168, E169, E170,
E173, E174, E175 – These errors normally indicate an
attempt to use a tape drive that is not supported.
Make sure that the tape is a TR-4 tape. If the
problem persists, replace the tape cartridge. If the
error still persists, contact your IBM Service
representative.
