Summary: |INCOMPATIBLE |MEDIA | *** |
Field Text:
Command rejected because a High Density tape is loaded in a low density drive. A low density drive cannot read a high density written tape. Only writes starting at block id 0 are allowed.

Solution

The volume that customer mounted on the drive was a high density tape and the T10000C can't read or write high density tapes.

The customer needs to mount this volume in a T10000D drives.
