Function code 5: Copy drive dump
Function code

copies data from a drive memory dump (captured in Function Code 4) to the
beginning of a scratch (blank) data cartridge.
Attention:
For this function, insert only a scratch (blank) data cartridge or a cartridge that might be
overwritten. During the test, the drive overwrites the data on the cartridge.
Note:
If you inserted an invalid tape cartridge, error code
J
or
7
appears in the SCD. If you inserted
a write-protected cartridge, or the media has read-only compatibility, error code
P
appears in the SCD.
In either case, the tape drive unloads the cartridge and exits Maintenance mode after the cartridge is
removed.
