I/O operation that failed. Some possible values displayed are:
  • READ
  • WRITE
  • FSR (forward space record)
  • FSF (forward space file)
  • WEOF (write end of file mark)
  • A string of hex digits

    See Operation Code Values for Tape Library Devices for a list of operation codes.

CC
I/O completion code. This value is returned by the device driver to the server when an error occurs. See Completion Code and Operation Code Values for a list of completion codes. Refer to the IBM TotalStorage Tape Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide for information on tape library system calls and error description for the library I/O control requests.

Byte 2 of the sense bytes from the error. The following lists some definitions:
0 = no additional sense bytes available
1 = recovered error
2 = not ready
3 = medium error
4 = hardware error
5 = illegal request
6 = unit attention (for example, a SCSI bus reset)
7 = data protect
8 = blank check
9 = vendor specific

Asserted
Additional sense codes (ASC) and additional sense code qualifiers (ASCQ) are bytes 12 and 13 of the sense bytes. You should refer to the sense byte number along with the value for a complete description of the common values of the ASC and ASCQ codes. The drive or library reference manual provided with the device usually contain tables explaining the values of the KEY, ASC, and ASCQ fields. Common Values for ASC and ASCQ Codes also provides additional information on the common values of ASC and ASCQ.

Completion Code and Operation Code Values

This section lists the completion code values for the following:

Windows Event Log Entries

Dell r710 drive slot sensor for storage drive fault was assertedAsserted

The code values will appear as hexadecimal values in the Data area of the Windows Event Log. The Event Log omits the 0x prefix for the displayed information.

In the Windows Event Log, the entries with source AdsmScsi are produced by the AdsmScsi device driver. In these entries, byte 3E is the sense key, byte 3D is the ASC, and byte 3C is the ASCQ. (This is also true of entries logged by any of the Windows tape device drivers.) If byte 44 is 'ef', the error logged is not a check condition error. Examples of such errors are command timeouts or device selection errors.
