Getting an error off an LTO4 tape drive in an SL500 tape library - opening the library door 
the drive has a red 3 displayed on it.  Does anyone know what this means?  Type of 
error or otherwise?  And how to fix it?

BTW how are tape drives in an SL500 libray power cycled?

I have a Qualstar XLS and my documentation for LTO4 SCD codes says a "3" is a Firmware Problem. That you should collect a drive dump (not take a new one, just copy the one that is already there) -- and provide it to your manufacturer who will tell you what to do...

I have no idea about power cycling the drives in an SL500 -- on my Qualstar, I would go into the web interface and tell it to power off the drive and then power it back on.
