An external tape drive has degraded.
This could be caused by the following:
External Tape Drive Status Change. This trap signifies that the agent has detected a change in the status of an External Tape Drive. The variable cpqFcTapeDriveStatus indicates the current tape status.
External Tape Drive Cleaning Required. The agent has detected a tape drive that needs to have a cleaning tape inserted and run. This will cause the tape drive heads to be cleaned.
External Array Spare Drive Status Change. This trap signifies that the agent has detected a change in the status of a External Array spare drive. The variable cpqFcaSpareStatus indicates the current spare drive status. The variable cpqFcaSpareBusNumber indicates the SCSI bus number associated with this drive.
If the tape status is failed or offline, check the tape and all connections.
If the spare drive status is failed, replace the drive.
