•
Tape Errors—Displays the total number of read and write errors encountered. This value is maintained from the
moment the Tape Hardware Interface driver was loaded.
Tape errors may occasionally occur. If this value rises dramatically, clean the device. If you continue to have
errors, you may have a problem. Some common causes of these errors include radio frequency interference
(RFI) on the bus cables, bad or missing terminating resistors on the drives, or having more than one device with
the same SCSI ID. Ensure the bus cable is free of obstructions and that the devices on the bus are properly
configured.
•
Uncorrectable—isplays the total number of read and write errors which could not be corrected. This value is
maintained from the moment the Tape Hardware Interface driver was loaded.
Uncorrectable errors may occasionally occur. If this value rises dramatically, clean the device. If you continue to
have errors, you may have a problem. Some common causes include radio frequency interference (RFI) on the
bus cables, bad or missing terminating resistors on the drives, or having more than one device with the same
SCSI ID. Ensure the bus cable is free of obstructions and that the devices on the bus are properly configured.
•
Rereads—Displays the number of times blocks that had to be reread from the device. This value is maintained
from the moment the Tape Hardware Interface driver was loaded.
Reread errors may occasionally occur. If this value rises dramatically, clean the device. If you continue to have
rereads, you may have a problem. Some common causes include radio frequency interference (RFI) on the bus
cables, bad or missing terminating resistors on the drives or having more than one device with the same SCSI
ID. Ensure the bus cable is free of obstructions and that the devices on the bus are properly configured.
•
Rewrites—Displays the number of times blocks that had to be rewritten to the device. This value is maintained
since the Tape Hardware Interface driver was loaded.
Rewrite errors may occasionally occur. If this value should rise dramatically, you may need to clean the device.
If you continue to have rewrites, you may have a problem. Some common causes include radio frequency
interference (RFI) on the bus cables, bad or missing terminating resistors on the drives, or having more than one
device with the same SCSI ID. Ensure the bus cable is free of obstructions and that the devices on the bus are
properly configured.
•
Total bytes—Displays the cumulative total number of bytes the tape drive has processed.
•
Tape Drive Heads Need Cleaning—Indicates whether the tape drive need to be cleaned. To clean the tape
heads, insert a cleaning tape into the drive and run through a cleaning cycle. The following values are valid:
•
Yes—The tape drive requires a cleaning tape session in order to clean the heads.
•
No—The tape drive does not require any cleaning tape session.
•
Not Supported—The tape drive does not support monitoring of the cleaning required status.
•
Cleaning Tape Needs Replacement—Indicates whether the cleaning tape that is inserted in an autoloader needs
to be replaced because its cleaning capability is exhausted (it is at the end of the tape). This variable can be in
one of the following states:
•
Yes—The autoloader tape drive requires a new cleaning tape to be inserted.
•
No—The tape drive does not require a new cleaning tape.
•
Not Supported—The tape drive does not support monitoring of the cleaning tape replacement status.
NOTE:
This variable is only applicable to autoloader tape drives.
