Rear View of the Tape Drive Tape Alert TapeAlert is a patented technology and standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) that defines conditions and problems that are experienced by tape drives. The technology enables a system to read TapeAlert flags from a tape drive through the SCSI interface. The system reads the flags from Log Sense Page 0x2E. TapeAlert Flags Table 5 lists the TapeAlert flags that are supported by the Dell PowerVault 110T LTO-3 Tape Drive. Table 5. TapeAlert Flags and Descriptions TapeAlert Flags Supported by the Tape Drive Flag Number Flag Parameter (in hex) Flag Description Action Required 3 03h Hard error Set for any unrecoverable read, write, or positioning error.
