External Tape Drive degraded.
The 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 Tape Drive Cleaning Tape Needs Replacing. The agent has detected that an autoloader tape unit has a cleaning tape that has been fully used and needs to be replaced with a new cleaning tape.
If the tape has failed or is offline, check the tape and all connections.
