Appendix A. TapeAlert Flags 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 server to read TapeAlert flags from a tape drive through the SCSI or Library/Drive Interface (LDI or RS-422 interface). The server reads the flags from Log Sense Page 0x2E. This appendix lists the TapeAlert flags that are supported by the IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Drive. Table 10. Supported TapeAlert Flags Flag Number Flag Parameter (in hex) Flag Description Action Required 3 03h Hard error Set for any unrecoverable read, write, or positioning error. (This flag is set in conjunction with flags 4, 5, or 6.)

Replace the tape and failure could be due to a cartridge. If Flag 4 is not set, see faulty tape cartridge or to faulty error code 6 in Table 9 on page drive hardware. 45. 6 06h Write failure Set for any unrecoverable write or positioning error where isolation is uncertain and failure could be due to a faulty tape cartridge or to faulty drive hardware. If Flag 9 is also set, make sure that the write-protect switch is set so that data can be written to the tape. If Flag 4 is also set, the cartridge is defective. Replace the tape cartridge. If Flag 4 is not set, see error code 6 inTable 9 on page 45. 8 08h Not data grade Set when severe servo errors Replace the tape cartridge. If this occur while loading a tape error occurs with multiple tapes, cartridge. see error code 6 inTable 9 on page 45. 9 09h Write protect Set when the drive detects that the tape cartridge is write-protected. Make sure that the cartridge's write-protect switch is set so that the drive can write data to the tape. 10 0Ah No removal Set when the drive receives an UNLOAD command after the server prevented the tape cartridge from being removed. Refer to the documentation for your server's operating system. 11 0Bh Cleaning media Set when you load a cleaning No action required. cartridge into the drive. 12 0Ch Unsupported format Set when you load an Use a supported tape cartridge. unsupported cartridge type into the drive or when the cartridge format has been corrupted. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2005 65
