More than one month ago, a drive in SL500 did not work normally. The following errors appeared in the /var/adm/messages:
Feb 27 08:21:00 ******** bptm[17486]: [ID 507448 daemon.warning] TapeAlert Code: 0x27, Type: Warning, Flag: DIAGNOSTICS REQ., from drive IBM.ULTRIUM-TD3.002 (index 2), Media Id 000097
We replaced the drive, the bezel, the SFP, even the fiber in the drive. And also downgrade the firmware version. But error still existed.
Then we exchanged the location of the failed drive and another good drive. Errors still occured on the failed drive. So replaced the drive again and error disappeared.
In the process of exchanged the drive location, the drive path does not corresponding to the tape device one by one.
