Abstract
A method includes receiving a humidity level in a tape library and determining whether the humidity level is in a predefined range indicative of safe operation. In response to determining that the humidity level is in the predefined range, the method includes allowing performance of operations on magnetic recording tapes. In response to determining that the humidity level is not in the predefined range, the method includes preventing performance of the operations on magnetic recording tapes. A drive-implemented method includes detecting a humidity level within a housing of a tape drive and determining whether the humidity level is in a predefined range indicative of safe operation.
