Hi, I have 2 x 3590 E11 drives connected to SCSI controller (with FC 6204) installed in RS/6000 SP2 wide node with AIX 4.3.3 .
The 3590E drive has following microcode details EC Level - F25980 LINK DOID_25D I have got one Extended 3590 (Imation make Black Watch) 20GB / 40 GB tape cartridge (IBM P/N 05H3188). I am trying to test the tape using TEST MEDIA option under VERIFY FIX in maintenance mode. After inserting the tape in priority slot (keeping the drive in Manual mode), the control panel displays ATTN DRV with message Invalid Cartridge. I have tried several cartridges this way but everytime it gives some error message. As per attached specification sheet, this tape should function What could be the problem ?
