Time stamp for CE Error Log
A time stamp accompanies each error log entry. The time stamp can be displayed in either relative time,
or real time if available. Relative time is associated with the approximate number of power-on hours for
the drive canister. Real-time clock input can be provided to the drive by the host application, the library,
an IBM device driver, or the Fibre Channel switch.
When the drive canister is replaced, the relative time stamp is reset to ddddd=00000. A clock counter is
started with power ON, and is saved in VPD every 8 hours.

EXAMPLE
DRV eee
LOAD/UNLOAD ERROR
0001 05:01:10
The ‘eee’ in the example is the number of times, if more than once, that the
ATTN
message was called out
during a 5-second interval. The error in this example occurred on the 1st day, 5th hour, 1st minute, and
10th second in “relative time.”
CE FID FE Log menu
The FID FE Log creates and holds a filtered subset of all sense data sent to the host with a FID of 87 or
FE.
Table 104 on page 136 shows an example of the menu when the log contains entries. See “CE Error Log
menu” on page 134 for format information. The format is
