Tape alert flags

Tape alert flags are numbered 1 through 64 and indicate a specific media-changer error condition. Each tape
alert is returned as an individual log parameter, and its state is indicated in bit 0 of the 1-byte Parameter
Value field of the log parameter. When this bit is set to 1, the alert is active.
Each tape alert flag has one of the following severity levels:
C - Critical
W - Warning
I - Information
Different tape drives support some or all of the following flags in the tape alert log:
Flag 2: Library Hardware B (W)
This flag is set when an unrecoverable mechanical error occurs.
Flag 4: Library Hardware D (C)
This flag is set when the tape drive fails the power-on self-test or a mechanical error occurs that requires
a power cycle to recover. This flag is internally cleared when the drive is powered-off.

Action
1. Make sure that the component firmware
is at the latest level. The installed
firmware level is shown in the DSA
event log in the Firmware/VPD
section for this component. For
the latest level of firmware, go to
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1
MIGR-4JTS2T and select your system to
display a matrix of available firmware.
2. Run the test again.
3. Replace the component that is causing
the error. If the error is caused by
an adapter, replace the adapter (see
"Removing a PCI adapter" on page 156
and Installing a PCI adapter). Check the
PCI Information and Network Settings
information in the DSA event log to
determine the physical location of the
failing component.
4. If the failure remains, collect the
data from the DSA event log
and send it to IBM Service. For
information about contacting and
sending data to IBM Service, go to
