Dell PowerVault 124T - Manual (Page 44)

When either of these things occur, the system generates a log of the error. You can use these error logs to determine the type of error, when it occurred, and
what parts of the autoloader it affects. Different types of error logs are generated for the autoloader and for the internal tape drive.
l The Autoloader Logs provide information for errors related to the autoloader, or data cartridge movement within the autoloader.
l The TapeAlert Logs provide information for errors reported by the tape drive inside the autoloader.
Autoloader Logs
You can retrieve autoloader error log information through one of three methods:
l Operator Control Panel (OCP) provides limited information
l Remote Management Unit (RMU) display to screen
l Detailed logs saved to text file through the RMU for call center diagnosis
