Using Host Sense Data
The table below lists the hosts to which the Ultrium Tape Drive attaches. It gives
the operating system for each host and describes how the host records errors from
the drive.
To determine the meaning of host sense data, see Appendix E, “Message Retrieval
at the Host,” on page E-1 and “Sense Data” on page D-51. Also refer to the
IBM

Table D-14. Host Method of Recording Tape Drive Errors
Host
Operating System
Method of Recording Tape Drive Errors
IBM AS/400 or iSeries
OS/400
Records tape drive errors and associated sense data in
the AS/400 problem and error logs. View the logs by
using the System Service Tools application and the
userid QSRV.
IBM RS/6000, RS/6000/SP,
or pSeries
AIX
Uses the IBM Atape device driver (provided with the
Ultrium Tape Drive) to record tape drive errors and
sense data in the host error log. View the host error log
by using one or more of the following utilities: tapeutil,
diag, smit, or errpt.
HP
HP-UX
Uses the IBM device driver for HP. Error and trace
logging are proprietary to Hewlett-Packard.
Sun Microsystems
Solaris
Uses the IBM device driver for Solaris to post sense
information to the Solaris host-wide messages file
/var/adm/messages
.
Intel-based PCs
Windows-based operating
systems
Uses the NTUTIL device driver to log some sense data
in the Event Viewer host log.
