AIX Diagnostic SCSD Tape Drive Service Aid
Provides the ability to display and monitor tape drive information for tape drives that are supported on AIX by the Self
Configuring SCSI device driver.
SCSD Tape Drive Service Aid functions:
z Display time since drive was last cleaned
z Capture internal drive trace information into a binary file(Dump).
z Capture internal Log Sense information into a binary file(Log).

Using the program:
While signed on as root utape can be run as a standalone program or under AIX Diagnostics.
Note: When the program puts out a file for later use it puts the file into the /tmp or /etc/lpp/diagnostics/data directory.
The binary Trace file is named:
/tmp/TRACE.rmt0
or newer levels of AIX use a different directory
/etc/lpp/diagnostics/data/TRACE.rmt0
The ASCII Log Sense file is named:
/tmp/LOGSENSE.rmt0
or newer levels of AIX use a different directory
/etc/lpp/diagnostics/data/LOGSENSE.rmt0
