Chapter 10 — Using Drive Lifecycle Management
The drive health icon state is based on data collected for the drive when the
last cartridge was loaded in the drive. This data consists of the code
presented on the drive's SCD or MCD, as well as tape alerts, and errors
detected at the time the tape is unloaded. See Interpreting the SCD and
MCD Codes on page 369 for detailed information about the SCD and MCD
codes. The following table describes the drive health status icons.
