TapeAlert flags

Edit online

TapeAlert is a patented technology and standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) that defines conditions and problems that are experienced by tape
drives.

The technology enables a server to read TapeAlert flags from a tape drive through the host interface. The server reads the flags from Log Sense Page 0x2E. Refer to the
IBM® LTO Ultrium Tape Drive SCSI Reference for the list of TapeAlert flags that are supported by this tape drive.
