If the error or message was
presented by....
Do this....
The tape drive's single-character
display and the status light is solid
yellow See “Diagnostic and Maintenance Functions” on page D-26.
SCSI log sense data (such as
TapeAlert flags) or request sense data
at the host console See:
v Appendix A, “TapeAlert Flags Supported by the Drive,” on page A-1
v “Drive Error Codes” on page D-41

“Using Host Sense Data”
Drive sense data sent to a library (if
the tape drive is enclosed in a library) See:

Chapter 1, “Start Service,” on page 1-1

Appendix E, “Message Retrieval at the Host,” on page E-1

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
Ultrium Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide or visit the web at

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.
