Appendix B

BTapeAlert Flag Descriptions

TapeAlert is an open industry standard that flags errors and provides

possible solutions for storage devices and their media. This section

provides information about TapeAlert flags issued by tape drives,

including the identifying number, severity, recommended message, and

probable cause. Table 19

explains the severity codes, and Table 20 lists all

the existing TapeAlert flags and their descriptions.

Support for specific TapeAlert flags may vary based on tape drive type

and firmware revision. Not all tape drives support every TapeAlert.

Consult your tape drive SCSI manual for more information.

For more information on TapeAlert, see http://www.t10.org/index.html

for INCITS SCSI Stream Commands - 3 (SSC-3).
