SIM/MIM error messages on virtual devices

The number after the SIM/MIM display specifies the severity code:

If there are several error messages, the associated codes are displayed alternately. Details
of the error message are shown if you click the error symbol. The flashing stops when you
open the error message.

As far as the host is concerned, CentricStor simulates 3490 cartridge drives. CentricStor
problems are mapped to error messages for these virtual drives. To do this, MIMs and SIMs
(Media Information Messages, Service Information Messages) that do not occur in physical
devices are used.
