Zusammenfassung:A drive control apparatus includes a management unit, a detection unit, and an information unit. The management unit identifies a data write position on a tape onto which data is written sequentially, and manages correspondences between first addresses including an address larger than an address which is managed by an upper apparatus connected to the drive control apparatus and second addresses for making the upper apparatus identify the data write position on the tape. The detection unit detects that a drive which writes the data onto the tape fails in writing the data. The information unit informs the upper apparatus of a second address of a position on the tape at which write fails on the basis of detection by the detection unit.
