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.
Flag 14: Library Place Retry (W) This flag is set when a high retry count
threshold is passed during an operation to place a cartridge back into a slot
before the operation succeeds. This flag is internally cleared when another place
operation is attempted.
Flag 15: Library Load Retry (W) This flag is set when a high retry count
threshold is passed during an operation to load a cartridge into a drive before
the operation succeeds. This flag is internally cleared when another load
operation is attempted. Note that if the load operation fails because of a media

be performed because a door is open. This flag is internally cleared when the
door is closed.
Flag 23: Library Scan Retry (W) This flag is set when a high retry count
