Sequential Access Device log page

The Sequential Access Device Log page is page 0Ch. The Page Length is 40h. Five parameters are

supported, all eight bytes long. With the exception of 0100h (cleaning required), they are

updated when a data set is logically written and cleared at the start of tape load; the values of

each parameter relate to the current tape.

A non-zero value of parameter 0100H (cleaning required) relates to the drive It indicates that a

condition requiring cleaning has been detected and a subsequent cleaning cycle has not yet been

completed. The parameter is updated asynchronously. It persists across hard resets and power

cycles, and is cleared when a cleaning cycle is performed.

Parm. Description

0001h

The number of data bytes received from application clients during write command operations.

This is the number of bytes transferred over SCSI, before compression.

0002h

The number of data bytes written to the media as a result of write command operations, not

counting the overhead from ECC and formatting. This is the number of data bytes transferred to

media, after compression.

0003h

The number of data bytes read from the media during read command operations, not counting

the overhead from ECC and formatting. This is the number of data bytes transferred from media

with compression.

0004h

The number of data bytes transferred to the initiator or initiators during read command

operations. This is the number of bytes transferred over SCSI, after decompression.

0100h

Cleaning required, a non-volatile cleaning indication.
