Impact

The original issue was alignment of E2900/V1280/Netra 1280 door eject button (on Right Hand door) with (non-RoHS) Dat72 option. The tape could not be ejected properly, or could be ejected accidentally.

When the RoHS DAT72 option was released, there then became some misalignment between LED holes in doors and the LEDs of the DAT72 drive, rendering the LED's unreadable, and the tape could still not be ejected properly.


Contributing Factors

Netra 1280, Sun Fire E2900 and Sun Fire V1280 when the DAT72 tape drive is present and a Non-RoHS right hand door is closed.


Symptoms

Multiple messages, similar to the following, may be observed when this issue results in the tape drive attempting to eject a tape when no tape is present.

02/14/07 11:30:50 str8-a SunVTS6.3ps1: VTSID 6002 tapetest.ERROR tape0: "Cannot open /dev/rmt/0l:
I/O error." Probable_Cause(s): <No tape media in drive.> Recommended_Action(s): <Load tape media
and retry test.> (run_on_error message 1)

 


Root Cause

The right hand doors listed under Affected Parts section above, and the DAT72 tape drive were not properly aligned / positioned resulting in this issue.

The new right hand door has the LED holes and eject button removed to eliminate the alignment issue.  These changes were cut into Manufacturing in May of 2006 via ECO# WO_29351.


Resolution

Replacement Time Estimate: 30 minutes

Hot Swappable: Yes

Upon failure or customer request replace Right Door and Hinge as follows:

Sun Fire V1280 and Netra 1280 

  • replace 560-2725 with 560-2848

Sun Fire E2900

  • replace 560-2744 with 540-7019

Issue Description:



Impact



[This should explain the impact to the running system in

general and the impact to the affected component in particular;

in terms of outage, downtime, loss of availability, loss

of data, etc. State the actual impact, for example,

the issue causes a system panic, reset, hang etc. If this is

a serviceability issue, state how it affects the ability to

service or maintain the product.]



1) Original problem was alignment of E2900/V1280/Netra 1280 door eject

button (on Right Hand door) with (non-RoHS) Dat72 option. The tape

could not be ejected properly (or could be ejected accidentally)



2) When RoHS DAT72 option was released there then became some

misalignment between LED holes in doors and the LEDs of the DAT72 drive

rendering the LED's unreadable (and the tape could still not be ejected

properly).







Contributing Factors



[List anything, such as specific operating environments and/or

configurations that may contribute to the issue.]



Issue can happen when the DAT72 tape drive is present and a Non-RoHS

right hand door is closed.



Symptoms



[Provide exact error messages and where and when the error

messages are likely to occur.]



Errors similar to the following may be observed when this issues results in

the tape drive attempting to eject a tape when no tape is present.
