TapeAlert flags
This section is intended to provide information to the reader about the tape drive by using TapeAlert
technology.
All error code and diagnostic information can be accessed from the Management GUI of the library. The
drive portion of the Management GUI contains drive error codes. Therefore, it is not necessary to open
the Library to access the buttons on the drive. See “Locating Management functions” on page 79 for a
complete description of the Management GUI functions and displays.
TapeAlert is a standard that denes status conditions and problems that are experienced by devices such
as tape drives, autoloaders, and libraries. The standard enables a server to read TapeAlert messages
(called flags) from a tape drive with the SCSI bus. The server reads the flags from Log Sense Page 0x2E.
Refer to the IBM TS4300 Tape Library SCSI Reference for library and drive TapeAlert Flag information.
This library is compatible with TapeAlert technology, which provides error and diagnostic information
about the drives and the library to the server. Because library and drive rmware might change
periodically, the SNMP interface in the library does not require code changes if devices add more
TapeAlerts that are not supported today. However, if this issue occurs the Management Information
Block (MIB) is written to minimize impact to the SNMP monitoring station. At the time of this writing, the
TapeAlert flags correctly represent TapeAlerts that are sent. The MIB le must not be taken to mean that
all traps that are dened in the MIB are sent by the library or that they will be sent in the future.
TapeAlert flags supported by the library

Code Flag name Type Description
01d Library
Hardware A
C The media changer mechanism is having difculty communicating with
the drive:
• Turn the media changer OFF, then ON
• Restart the operation.
• If problem persists, contact Technical Support.
02d Library
Hardware B
