Sense data

When a drive encounters an error, it provides sense data as a response to the host.

Refer to the IBM TS4300 Tape Library SCSI Reference for library sense data information. Refer to the IBM LTO Ultrium Tape Drive SCSI Reference for tape drive sense data information.

In addition, you can use the IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool (ITDT) to further examine data and determine errors. See IBM Tape Diagnostic tool (ITDT).
