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.

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.)
See the Action Required column for Flag 4, 5, or 6 in this table.
4 04h Media
Set for any unrecoverable read, write, or
positioning error that is due to a faulty
tape cartridge.
Contact Dell technical support.
5 05h Read failure
Set for any unrecoverable read error
where isolation is uncertain and failure
could be due to a faulty tape cartridge or
to faulty drive hardware.
If Flag 4 is also set, the cartridge is defective. Contact Dell
technical support. If Flag 4 is not set, see error code 6 in
"
Descriptions and Corrective Actions ."
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 (see the Setting the
Write-Protect Switch section in "
Using the Tape Drive "). If Flag 4 is
also set, the cartridge is defective. Replace the tape cartridge. If
Flag 4 is not set, see error code 6 in "
Descriptions and Corrective
Actions ."
8 08h Not data grade
Set when severe servo errors occur while
loading a tape cartridge. Replace the tape cartridge. If this error occurs with multiple tapes,
see error code 6 in "
Descriptions and Corrective Actions ."
9 09h Write protect
Set when the tape drive detects that the
tape cartridge is write-protected.
Make sure that the cartridge's write-protect switch is set so that
the tape drive can write data to the tape (see the Setting the
Write-Protect Switch section in "
Using the Tape Drive ").
10 0Ah No removal

UNLOAD command after the system
prevented the tape cartridge from being
removed.
