Tape alert flags
Use this information to diagnose and resolve tape alert flags for the blade server.
Tape alert flags are numbered 1 through 64 and indicate a specific media-changer
error condition. Each tape alert is returned as an individual log parameter, and its
state is indicated in bit 0 of the 1-byte Parameter Value field of the log parameter.
When this bit is set to 1, the alert is active.
Each tape alert flag has one of the following severity levels:
Different tape drives support some or all of the following flags in the tape alert
log:

Flag 2: Library Hardware B (W) This flag is set when an unrecoverable
mechanical error occurs.
Flag 4: Library Hardware D (C) This flag is set when the tape drive fails the
power-on self-test or a mechanical error occurs that requires a power cycle to
recover. This flag is internally cleared when the drive is powered-off.
Flag 13: Library Pick Retry (W) This flag is set when a high retry count
threshold is passed during an operation to pick a cartridge from a slot before
the operation succeeds. This flag is internally cleared when another pick
operation is attempted.
