Tape Drive Error Logs 5
The tape drive generates six types of logs. For troubleshooting errors, you
will only use SCSI Check Condition Error logs, Bugcheck Error logs, and
Event Error logs. For more information on the other log types (see
appendix A, Basic Information Logs
).
Error Log Display 5 Partial information about tape drive error logs can be retrieved from
SCSI. Figure 101
