Troubleshooting Details

Steps to Follow
Take the following steps to resolve Agent issues:
What type of Drive:
- LTO4/LTO5, Go to Step B
- T10000 or 9840D, continue.

Crypto LED Green?
- Yes, Drive is not licensed for Encryption.
- Flashing, Encryption has been reset.
- No, continue.

Crypto LED Amber?
- Solid, Encryption capable (licensed) but needs media keys.  For KMS 1.x this drive has not been recognized by a legitimate OKT.  For KMS 2.x see VOP : encryption tab : needs tab.  (This is normal for KMS 2.x if the drive is not loaded and has the needed key.  Insure a tape is loaded in the drive.)  Proceed to Step C.
- Flashing, need device keys and should only be seen in KMS 1.x.  This usually indicates out of sync condition that will require EKT to be re-written for this drive only.  Read token in KMS for error message.  KMS 2.x has no flashing amber.
- No, Continue.

Crypto LED Red?
- Solid, Encryption enabled.  In 1.x this means ready to encrypt, in 2.x this means drive loaded and has key.  Proceed to Step C.
- Blinking, Encryption enabled, in active state, at previous codes.  Currently this will be solid red
- No Red LED,  Drive is not Encryption capable, EXIT.

Crypto LED Cycling:
The LED is cycling through all colors. This indicates the tape drive is “zeroed,” unusable, and must be returned.

Step B:
LTO Drive:
Crypto LED Green?
- Solid Green, Dione card is booting, Wait. Solid is booting or non-error condition of drive loaded and has key.  Proceed to Step C.
- No Green LED on.  Drive is not Encryption capable, or is not loaded with a key.  EXIT.

Step C:
Does VOP display keys needed?
- Yes, Identify why this key(s) unavailable to drive.
- No, continue.

Magma Box Tests successful?
- Yes, Re-diagnose issue.  Beyond scope of this instruction.
- No/Don't Know, continue.

Pertinent  KMS Audit logs have entries?
- Yes, Diagnose error message and escalate as needed.  Refer to page 235, KMS 2.1 Administration Guide, 1/30/09 Rev. A, 316195102 for further information.
- No, Diagnose Application/System Logs and escalate as needed.  

Note:
VOP diagnostics will run on an encrypted drive but require a dump tape to run on.  If a dump is needed you will have to extract it with VOP since the drive can not write a dump tape until a future code is available, somewhere around x.44 code.  The dump tape will have to have been written on a non-encrypted drive because current code does not permit T-Series drives to write a dump tape.  The dump tape can be used over and over, but must be written the first time on a non-encrypted drive.  (8-20-09)

Note:
Refer to page 24, T10000 Operator’s Guide,  September 2009 Revision ED,  PN96174 for complete information on the LED status.
