End Of Partition; Non-Recoverable Write Error - Tandberg Data SLR7-140 PROGRAMMER Manual

Tandberg Data
If another WRITE command is received by the Drive
while the tape is positioned after LEW (but before
end of partition), the Drive will transfer and write
all requested data if possible. The WRITE command
will then be terminated with CHECK CONDITION (this
will be true even if the requested Transfer Length
was zero). If all data in the buffer was successfully
written to the tape the Error Code will be set to
E - -
ND OF PARTITION
Sense Key will be set to NO SENSE. The EOM and VADD
bits will be set to one. The Information Bytes will
be set to zero.
30.8.7.

End of Partition

If end of partition is reached during the execution of a
WRITE command, the Drive will terminate the command with
CHECK CONDITION status. The Error Code will be set to
E - - /
ND OF PARTITION MEDIUM DETECTED ON WRITE
the Sense Key will be set to VOLUME OVERFLOW. The Valid
(VADD) and End Of Media (EOM) bits will be set to one.
The Information Bytes in the sense data list will be set
as follows:
1) If the FIX bit is set to one, the Information Bytes
will be set to the difference (residue) of the
requested Transfer Length minus the actual number of
written blocks.
2) If the FIX bit is set to zero, the Information Bytes
will be set to the difference (residue) of the
requested Transfer Length minus the actual number of
written bytes.
This error condition has priority over the Logical Early
Warning (LEW) error condition.
Additional WRITE
partition error
immediately with a CHECK CONDITION (no data will be
transferred). The
persist until a position type command has been executed
(ERASE, LOAD/UNLOAD or REWIND).
30.8.8.

Non-Recoverable Write Error

If a non-recoverable write error occurs, the Drive will
terminate the WRITE command with CHECK CONDITION status.
The Error Code will be set to E
Sense Key will be set to MEDIA ERROR. The Valid (VADD)
bit will be set to one.
The Information Bytes in the sense data list will be set
as described in Section 31.5.5.
This error condition has priority over the Logical Early
Warning error condition.
Additional WRITE commands issued after a non-recoverable
write error has occurred, will be terminated immediately
with a CHECK CONDITION (no data will be transferred).
The non-recoverable write error condition will persist
until a position type command has been executed (ERASE,
LOAD/UNLOAD or REWIND).
