IBM TS3200 Code 9F 08

You will need to contact IBM support and after providing proper I.D. verification , they should be able to give you a password which you will be able to use. Due to security issues with stored info, you will have to provide the proper ID info as the original purchaser. Best Wishes

A physical obstruction in the path of the robot's motion. Examples
include tape cartridges that are extending from the picker assembly or
from a storage location, as well as tape cartridges or debris that may
have collected on the floor of the library.
2. A large number of electrical hardware failures. Firmware or hardware
detects that motion control is not occurring properly (encoder issues,
motor driving circuits, motor winding issues, etc.)
3. A relatively small number of mechanical hardware failures that do not
result in the detection of a complete obstruction, but where motion
control generates robotics firmware error codes (contamination or damage
to encoder wheel, high friction, etc.).


Possible FRUs is Robot Assembly

dear friend send me the solution i have seen the same recently with mine too

Error 9E 09

9E : Elevator range out of specification

Primary: Library Enclosure
Secondary: Library Controller Card
09 : Error elevator init

Then raise a call with IBM Hardware:

How do I create a PMR (aka Service Request) for support?

This may be caused by a bus level communication problem, try a restart. Power down the computer, power down the library, power up the library, wait for the library to finish initialization and verify from the control panel it is in an online/ready state, power up the computer.

ibm ts3200 is a single tape library with 2 versions, 2U and 4U, the 2U version support 2 drives HH and the 4U version support 2 FH and 4HH.

Hy ,according to manual it can have up to two drives.

trial and learn...

place only one tape drive in a deck and tell it to do a backup till it doesnt give an error. then move to the next drive.

Try the default password, "secure".
