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:
C - Critical
W - Warning
I - Information
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.
