Tape DEVNO⁄CUA Statistics Summary

This report allows you to quickly see what has been happening to a device. Since all normal data is included, you can see how much activity has been experienced by a device and the pertinent exception data for the device.

The data in this report is listed by CUA for all device addresses that exceed hardware limits or had permanent errors. The data is a summary of all activity on the device for the given period in which the report was run. This includes permanent, temporary and statistical data.

Temporary errors for devices and control unit addresses are shown when the error count exceeds the LIMIT control statement.

Errors are listed by volume serial number in the order (date and time) in which they occur. The following are shown on the report:

This report is different from other tape reports because the statistical data comes from the 3480 miscellaneous data record (MDR), which gets its information from the buffered tape control units. 3420 tape drives get statistical data from OBR demounts received and counts are kept in main storage by the operating system.

One of these reports is generated for each device (device number or CUA) that appears as a hardware exception on the tape subsystem exception report.

The report presents the DEVNO/CUA’s temporary errors that have failed the limits set in LIMIT control statements.

Figures containing examples of these reports are on the pages shown in the following table:

Report Date, Period From, Period To REPORT DATE is the Julian date the report ran. PERIOD FROM is the Julian date of the earliest record. PERIOD TO is the Julian date of the latest record.
 2 
Current Limits, MB/Err CURRENT LIMITS and megabytes/error for both the hardware and the volume are the limit values from the limit control cards.

DTE is the Julian date from the OBR or MDR record.
 4 
VOLID is the volume serial number.
 5 
ERA is the error recovery action code to the host (contents of Sense Byte 3).
 6 
FMT is the format of the sense record. Valid formats are 19, 20, 21 or 30.
 7 
MBPROC is the number of megabytes processed. (Data from sense byte 14–15 for write and 16–17 for read in the format 21 statistical record. Data from sense bytes 38–40 for write and sense bytes 32–35 for read in format 30.)
 8 
DATA CHK is the number of data checks corrected. (Criteria) (Data from sense byte 22 for write and 23 for read in format 21 statistical record or from sense byte 13 for write and sense byte 12 for read from format 30.)
 9 
DATA ERR is the number of Hardware ERP made. (Data from sense byte 10 for write, from sense byte 8 for read forward, and from sense byte 9 for read backward in format 21 statistical record or data from sense byte 9 for write, from sense byte 8 for read forward and from sense byte 10 for read backward from format 30.)
 10 
MB/ERR
  • WRITE is the average number of megabytes written per temporary write error.
  • READ is the average number of megabytes read per temporary read error.
 11 
ERSE GAPS is the total number of blocks re-written during error recovery. (Data from sense byte 24 of the format 21 statistical record or from sense byte 15 from format 30.)
 12 
READ RTY is the total number of correctable read errors detected during 3490 read error recovery. (Data from sense byte 30 of the format 21 or from sense byte 14 of format 30 statistical record.)
 13 
DRV DET is the number of unit checks set by the drive. (Data from sense byte 25 of the format 21 or 30 statistical record.)
 14 
CU EQU CHKS is the number of errors found in the use of external regs in the CU for a given device. (Data from sense byte 13 of the format 21 statistical record.)
 15 
INSTANT SPD VAR flag indication that tape speed variations have been detected by hardware checkers. (A function of control unit microcode or sense bytes 22, 23 and 24 of format 30.)
 16 
BLK PROC is the total number of blocks processed. (Data from sense byte 19 on a write and 18 on a read of the format 21 Statistical Record or sense bytes 47–49 on a write and sense bytes 50–52 on read from format 30.)
 17 
BLK COR is the total number of blocks corrected. (ECC corrected) (Data from sense byte 12 on a write and 11 on a read of the format 21 statistical record or sense byte 19 on a write and sense byte 18 on a read from format 30.)
 18 
HDR SER is the header serial number on the tape volume. The header number is derived from the last 4 digits of the control unit serial number that wrote the volume, with the drive address added to the last position. For example:
  • Header Serial is 3892F
  • The last 4 digits of control unit serial number is 3892
  • Drive address is F
 19 
CPU is the host processor reporting the data.

All error and statistical data (MDR records) are shown for devices which were listed in the Subsystem Exception Report. They are listed by CUA for the period indicated.

Note: Due to space limitations, this report does not show activity on all devices listed in the Subsystem Exception Report.
