Method for Reporting Informational Exceptions. The tape drive uses
the contents of this field to report information about exception
conditions. Three methods are available:
Value
Method
00h
No reporting of Informational Exception Conditions. The
device server does not report information exception
conditions.
03h
Conditionally Generate Recovered Error. The device server
reports informational exception conditions, if such reports
of recovered errors is allowed, by returning CHECK
CONDITION status on the next SCSI command (except
INQUIRY and REQUEST SENSE commands) following
detection of the condition. The Sense Key is set to
RECOVERED ERROR with an additional sense code of 5D
00 (TapeAlert Event). The SCSI command with CHECK
CONDITION completes without error prior to the report of
any exception condition, and does not need to be
repeated.
06h
Only Report Informational Exception Condition on
Request. The device server preserves information exception
data. To access the data, a poll can be taken by issuing an
unsolicited REQUEST SENSE command. The Sense Key is set
to NO SENSE with an additional sense code of 5D 00
(TapeAlert Event).
The additional sense code of 5D 00 for values 03h and 06h signals
that a TapeAlert event has occurred. Information about the event is
stored in the TapeAlert Log Page. The setting of MRIE does not
impact logging of events in the TapeAlert Log Page.
