Error - IBM System Storage TS3400 Tape Library Maintenance Information

SCSI Sense Data Example 2 – Tape Drive Error
The following example of SCSI Sense Data was received from a RS/6000 Open
System host and shows a Tape Drive Failure and what the sense data would look like.
Like the SCSI sense data in example 1, this data contains valid sense data as defined
by the hex "71" in the first sense byte position. Therefore, we have valid data to rely
on. While the data shows that this is a TAPE_ERR2, further review of the ASC/ASCQ
(Media Load or Eject Failed) points more to a problem with the media or the drive.
The fact that a FID was listed ("86") defines the failure as "The drive detected a drive
hardware or media fault". In this case, the FID should be followed to make a repair.
For more information about Sense Key and ASC/ASCQ fields, refer to the IBM
System Storage TS3400 Tape Library SCSI Reference.
