Appendix E. 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 interface. The server reads the flags from Log Sense Page 0x2E.
