summary
The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 230 Tape Drive is the high-performance, first-generation superdrive in the HP Ultrium Family. The Ultrium 230 offers excellent capacity, superior performance and exceptional reliability. An ideal solution for network server backup where speed, capacity and reliability are critical, the Ultrium 230 stores 200 GB of compressed data on a single tape at speeds of up to108 GB per hour.
With ultimate reliability and ease of use in mind, the rugged design builds on superior LTO technology and adds advanced features to deliver a new level of data protection. The combination of higher speed and data rate matching that adjusts to the speed of the host makes the HP Ultrium 230 an ideal backup solution for over-the-network backup where minimal downtime is imperative and throughput bottlenecks can raise havoc with other types of tape drives. In addition, the drive's HP StorageWorks One-Button Disaster Recovery provides the easiest way to restore data in the event of a disaster. The Ultrium 230 Tape Drive makes an excellent workhorse for all-around data protection

Activity Indicators
Ready
On, Steady The drive is ready for use. It is powered up but not doing anything.
On, flashing The drive is busy. For example: it is carrying out Write, Read, Self Test or firmware download.
Flashing pattern The drive is in OBDR mode.
Off The drive power is off or there was a failure during self-test.
Drive Error
Off No fault has been detected.
On, flashing The drive has suffered an unrecoverable hardware failure. A power cycle or a successful tape load will turn off the LED, but if the hardware fault is still present it will come on again if the same operation is performed.
Tape Error
Off No fault has been detected.
On, flashing The tape currently in the drive is faulty. This LED could come on for a number of reasons, but they all relate to the tape being in error in some way, such as unreadable cartridge memory or unsupported tape. Do not use the cartridge; replace it.
Use Cleaning Cartridge or Clean
On, steady A cleaning cartridge is being used. The Ready light will also flash.
On, flashing The drive needs cleaning. The light will continue to flash if the drive is power cycled, and will only go out after a supported cleaning tape has been used.
Off Drive does not require clean
