4h HARDWARE ERROR. The Additional Sense Code
/ Additional Sense Code Qualifier fields may
present more specific information.
5h ILLEGAL REQUEST. The Command Descriptor
Block or supplied parameter data had an
unsupported or illegal operation specified. Check
bytes 15, 16, and 17.
6h UNIT ATTENTION. Unit Attentions are created
after a device reset, if the medium asynchronously
becomes ready to the initiator, if another initiator
changes Mode Parameters, and/or if the firmware
is updated.
7h DATA PROTECTED. The current tape medium is
write-protected. This can be because the Write
Protect switch on the cartridge is in its enabled
position or if the tape medium is not the
appropriate type (DLTtape I or DLTtape II), or if a
software write protect is issued.
8h BLANK CHECK. An End of Data or LongGap has
been encountered.
Bh COMMAND ABORTED. This key is generated
when a command has been aborted by the tape
drive for some reason. Check the Additional Sense
Code / Additional Sense Code Qualifier bytes.
Dh VOLUME OVERFLOW. This key indicates that the
physical end of tape medium has been reached
during writing. The initiator ignored the End of
Medium condition and continued to write to tape.
Eh MISCOMPARE. A compare error has occurred
during READ by the self-tests invoked during
execution of a SEND DIAGNOSTIC command.
