The supported Tape Alert flags are: Flag 1: Drive Communication Failure (C) - This flag is set to indicate a drive communication failure. Flag 2: Library Hardware B (W) - This flag is set for any unrecoverable mechanical error. Flag 4: Library Hardware D (C) - This flag is set when the internal Power-On-Self-Tests (POST) fail or when a mechanical error occurs that requires a power cycle to recover, and is not internally cleared until the device is powered off. Flag 13: Library Pick Retry (W) - This flag is set when a high retry count threshold is passed when performing an operation to pick a cartridge from a slot before the operation succeeds. It is internally cleared when another pick operation is attempted. Flag 14: Library Place Retry (W) - This flag is set when a high retry count threshold is passed when performing an operation to place a cartridge back into a slot before the operation succeeds. It is internally cleared when another place operation is attempted. Flag 15: Library Load Retry (W) - This flag is set when a high retry count threshold is passed when performing an operation to load a cartridge into a drive before the operation succeeds. It is internally cleared when another load operation is attempted. Note that if the load actually fails due to a media or drive problem, the appropriate TapeAlert flags should be set by the drive. Flag 16: Library Door (C) - This flag is set when media move operations cannot be performed because a door is open, and is internally cleared when the door is closed. Flag 17: Mailbox Mechanical Problem (C) - This flag is set when a mailbox station mechanical problem is detected. Flag 23: Library Scan Retry (W) - This flag is set when a high retry count threshold is passed when performing an operation to scan the barcode on a cartridge before the operation succeeds. It is internally cleared when another barcode scanning operation is attempted. Flag 32: Barcode Label Unreadable (I) - This flag is set when a tape cartridge barcode label could not be read. 28 SCSI Commands

Drive Communication Failure (C) -
This flag is set to indicate a drive communication failure.
Flag 2:
Library Hardware B (W)
- This flag is set for any unrecoverable mechanical error.
Flag 4:
Library Hardware D (C)
- This flag is set when the internal Power-On-Self-Tests (POST) fail or
when a mechanical error occurs that requires a power cycle to recover, and is not internally cleared until the
device is powered off.
Flag 13:
Library Pick Retry (W)
- This flag is set when a high retry count threshold is passed when
performing an operation to pick a cartridge from a slot before the operation succeeds. It is internally cleared
when another pick operation is attempted.
Flag 14:
Library Place Retry (W)
- This flag is set when a high retry count threshold is passed when
performing an operation to place a cartridge back into a slot before the operation succeeds. It is internally
cleared when another place operation is attempted.
Flag 15:
Library Load Retry (W)
- This flag is set when a high retry count threshold is passed when
performing an operation to load a cartridge into a drive before the operation succeeds. It is internally cleared
when another load operation is attempted. Note that if the load actually fails due to a media or drive problem,
the appropriate TapeAlert flags should be set by the drive.
Flag 16:
Library Door (C)
- This flag is set when media move operations cannot be performed because
a door is open, and is internally cleared when the door is closed.
Flag 17:
Mailbox Mechanical Problem (C) -
This flag is set when a mailbox station mechanical problem
is detected.
