Troubleshooting

Bad performance

Ê

Try a new cartridge. A marginal cartridge can 
cause performance problems due to bad spots 
on the tape requiring retries.

Ê

Backing up data that compresses poorly or is 
already compressed will lower performance.

Ê

Check the size of the files. Small file size can 
impact performance.

Ê

Confirm that the backup application is utilizing 
block sizes of at least 32KB, preferably 64KB. 
Refer to the backup application documentation 
for details.

Ê

Check the network bandwidth from the host 
computer. If you are backing up data over a 
network, consider comparing to a local-only 
backup.

Ê

Make sure the backup server has enough 
memory to handle the bandwidth of the 
backup or restore.

Ê

Clean the tape drive. See 

section “Cleaning 

Tape Drive” on page 78

 for instructions.

Media attention LED issues

Contamination by loose 
debris

Avoid contamination by ensuring that the library is 
installed in a clean, contamination-free 
environment. Cartridges should be stored verti-
cally in their plastic cases. Continue cleaning the 
tape drive as needed.

Non-acclimated media

A cartridge should be acclimated for at least 24 
hours before being used, particularly if it has been 
stored at a substantially different temperature or 
level of humidity than the library.
