Commands

Note that if an attempt is made to set or clear a flag that is not supported by the drive,

CHECK

CONDITION

will be reported with a sense key of

ILLEGAL REQUEST

and additional sense of 2600h

(invalid field in parameter list).

Device Time mode page

The Device Time Mode page consists of the following page header followed by three Timebase

descriptors:

MRIE

Method of Reporting Informational Exceptions

3h This field indicates the method used by the target to report informational

exception conditions and must be set to 3. The target will report informational

exception conditions by returning a CHECK CONDITION status on any

command. The sense key will be set to RECOVERED ERROR with additional

sense of 5D00h (failure prediction threshold exceeded). The command that has

the CHECK CONDITION will complete without error before any informational

exception condition may be reported.

Interval Timer

0 Must be zero, indicating that the drive only reports an informational exception

condition once.

Report Count/Test

Flag Number

0 If the Test bit is zero, this field is the Report Count and must be zero, indicating

that there is no limit on the number of times the drive can report an informational

exception condition.

n If the Test bit is one, this field is the Test Flag Number, that is, the number of a

supported TapeAlert flag. The target will generate a test informational exception

condition. As a result, the next SCSI command after Mode Select will return

CHECK CONDITION with a sense key of RECOVERED ERROR and additional

sense of 5DFFh (failure prediction threshold exceeded - false).
The following are valid settings:
1 through 64

This sets the TapeAlert flag with this number in the

Log page.

1 through

64

(FFFFFFFFh–FFFFFFC0h)

This clears the TapeAlert flag indicated by the

absolute value of the Test Flag Number.

32767 (7FFFFh)

This sets all the TapeAlert flags supported by the

target in the Log page.
