Drv Serial No...
Allows the CE to enter the drive's serial number (maximum of 12 bytes). See "CE DRV Ser No menu
(CE Offline Mode)" on page 121.
Drv Features...
You can specify the configuration for the drive you are installing. See "CE DRV Features menu" on
page 150.
Drv Encryption
Allows the CE to set a drive to encrypt data. See "DRV Encryption menu" on page 121 and "Setting
drive encryption" on page 250. The default is Disabled.
Default Density
Allows the CE to set a drive, for example an EH8 drive, to write from the BOT of a cartridge in a
different format, such as EH7 format. See "Setting default density" on page 249.
Clean Mounts
Allows the CE to change the microcode counter specifying the number of mounts that are required for
the drive before a clean operation is requested.
Note: When '0' is displayed, the default value of 5 000 mounts is used. Change this value only when
instructed by your next level of support.
Clean Usage
Allows the CE to change the microcode counter specifying the number of bytes processed by the drive
before a clean operation is requested.
Note: When '0' is displayed, the default value of 6 terabytes is used. Change this value only when
instructed by your next level of support.
HSARS Enabled/Disabled
Allows the CE to enable the hardware statistical analysis and reporting system (HSARS). Hardware
SARS can be enabled or disabled while the drive is operating. Enabling this option allows the drive to
indicate potential hardware problems. See "Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS)" on
page 43 for details. The default is Enabled.
VSARS Enabled/Disabled
Allows the CE to enable the volume statistical analysis and reporting system (VSARS). Volume SARS
can be enabled or disabled while the drive is operating. Enabling this option allows the drive to flag
bad tape media. See "Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS)" on page 43 for details. The
default is Enabled.
SIM Sev Filt On/Off
Allows the CE to filter the messages sent to the host. When this option is set to ON, only acute and
serious severity service information messages (SIMs) are sent.Moderate and service-related severity
SIMs are not sent. When this option is set to Off, all SIMs are displayed. The default state is Off.
MIM Sev Filt On/Off
Allows the CE to filter the messages sent to the host. When this option is set to ON, only acute severity
media information messages (MIMs) are sent. Serious, moderate, and service-related severity MIMs
are not sent. When this option is set to Off, all MIMs are displayed. The default is Off.
Num Repeat SIMs
Allows the CE to determine how many times to repeat sending the same SIMs to the host. For
example, if you set the value to 3, the SIM is sent to the host when a SIM is generated, then again 8
hours later, then again after another 8-hour period. You cannot change the eight-hour time interval
between the presentation of SIMs. The default value is zero (do not repeat SIMs). The maximum value
that is allowed is 255.
Set Sense ID
This function is for use only with controller attachments. The instructions for what value to put into
this field are described in a controller Installation Instruction, and in the procedure 'Drive Setup For
External Switch' in the appropriate controller MI. The value to which this field is set is reported in Byte
19 of the drive's Request Sense data.
