TapeAlert flags
This section is intended to provide information to the reader about the library and tape drive by using TapeAlert technology.
Additional information is provided to the reader about the tape library and tape drive. All error code and diagnostic information cannot be accessed from the Operator
Panel of the library. The Operator Panel will, however, display other library error codes and drive error codes when problems occur. For a listing of Operator Panel error
messages, see Error codes.
TapeAlert is a standard that defines status conditions and problems that are experienced by devices such as tape drives, autoloaders, and libraries. The standard enables
a server to read TapeAlert messages (called flags) from a tape drive. The server reads the flags from Log Sense Page 0x2E.
This library is compatible with TapeAlert technology, which provides error and diagnostic information about the drives and the library to the server. Because library and
drive firmware might change periodically, the SNMP interface in the library does not require code changes if devices add extra TapeAlerts that are not supported today.
However, if this change occurs, the MIB is written to minimize impact to the SNMP monitoring station. At the time of this writing, the TapeAlert flags in this appendix
correctly represent TapeAlerts that are sent. The MIB file must not be taken to mean that all traps that are defined in the MIB will be sent by the library or that they will be
sent in the future.
