ERPA CODES

Table C-1. ERPA Codes

Drive adapter error occurred.
Could not recover from a buffer error on the lower interface.
Could not recover from an error detected during a cartridge index/load cycle on the
Automatic Cartridge Loader. The cartridge is manually retrievable by the operator.
A permanent read error has occurred.
A Display command was received while a drive check message is displayed.
Buffered data could not be written on the tape successfully. ERP has tried to erase gaps
and rewrites but could not complete the write operation.
A permanent error occurred when trying to write data, an IBG or a tape mark on the
tape. All attempts to retry the operation have been completed, but unsuccessfully.
Host recovery should perform a read forward followed by a backspace block com-
mand.
An undefined command op code has been issued.
Control information is improper.
the drive is still in the buffer.
The statistical counters have overflowed and a Request log command should be issued
Either the control unit cannot recover because an error occurred in the subsystem hard-
ware or microprogram, or the control unit recovery action was unsuccessful.
The drive became not ready after the command was issued, or an error occurred while
the command was processing.
Either a density mark could not be read correctly or the Block ID read by the control
unit is invalid (Bit 0 or bits 8-11 are not zero).
If a density mark could not be read correctly, likely causes are:
1. a void occurred at BOT, or
2. a timeout occurred before the density separator was detected.
A write type operation was attempted on a tape cartridge that is file protected.
No patterns or data were found on the tape during a read operation. The tape could be
positioned after the last data block or tape mark that was written on the tape.
An error caused the drive to lose tape tension.
The cartridge is not inserted or threaded correctly.
The drive cannot maintain tape tension and control tape movement during an unload
operation.
