DExcpt Disable Information Exception Operations. When set to 0, the reporting
method specified by the contents of the MRIE field is selected. When set
to 1, all information exception conditions are disabled regardless of the
contents of the MRIE field. When in this mode, the software polls the
TapeAlert Log page. To enable CHECK CONDITION mode, set DExcpt
to 0. Default setting is 1.
Test Generates false TapeAlert conditions to test the response to failure
conditions. See the Report Count / Test Flag Number description for more
information. If both Test and DExcpt are set to 1, the drive returns CHECK
CONDITION status, Sense Key ILLEGAL REQUEST, and Additional
Sense Code set to INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER LIST.
LogErr Error Log. Not supported. Must be set to 0.
MRIE Method for Reporting Informational Exceptions. The drive uses the
contents of this field to report information about exception conditions. The
available methods are:
Value Metho d
00h No reporting of Informational Exception Conditions. The
drive does not report information exception conditions.
03h Conditionally Generate Recovered Error. The drive reports
informational exception conditions, if such reports of
recovered errors are allowed, by returning CHECK
CONDITION status on the next SCSI command (except
INQUIRY and REQUEST SENSE commands) following
detection of the condition. The drive sets the Sense Key to
RECOVERED ERROR with an Additional Sense Code of
5Dh / 00h (TapeAlert Event). The SCSI command with the
CHECK CONDITION status completes without error
before the report of any exception condition and does not
need to be repeated.
04h Unconditionally Generate Recovered Error. The drive
reports informational exception conditions by returning
CHECK CONDITION status on the next SCSI command
(except INQUIRY and REQUEST SENSE commands)
following detection of the condition. The drive sets the
Sense Key to RECOVERED ERROR with an Additional
Sense Code of 5Dh / 00h (TapeAlert Event). The SCSI
command with the CHECK CONDITION status completes
without error before the report of any exception condition
and does not need to be repeated.
