4.8.7 TapeAlert Log Page (2Eh)
This page returns results of the SDLT tape drive’s ongoing self-diagnosis, so that the drive’s behavior
can be monitored and high reliability assured. The host typically reads the TapeAlert page from the
drive at the beginning of each READ or WRITE activity, after any fatal errors occur during a READ or
WRITE, at the end of any data cartridge when the READ or WRITE activity continues onto another
data cartridge, and at the end of each READ or WRITE activity. The drive sets or clears the flags when
the failure or corrective action occurs.
