Tape Temporary Error Summary

EREP Reference
GC35-0152-06

This report presents all the temporary read⁄write errors recorded for tape hardware during the report period for all MDR records. Errors are listed by CUA or device number and density regardless of whether or not they exceeded the LIMIT values and appeared in the subsystem exception report.

The LIMIT control values specified when invoking EREP are ignored for this report.

The column headings may differ depending upon the specific device.

Only the 3480 and 3490 devices can produce a two-part temporary error summary report: one displaying device activity and the other displaying channel activity. The rest of the 34XX devices combine them in one report.

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

TOTAL and AVERAGE
  • AVERAGE is the total number of megabytes divided by the total number of errors of a particular type, for all 3490 drives used by the operating system.

    For example:

    Average Megabytes/Temporary Read Errors is the total number of the megabytes read divided by the total number of the temporary read errors.

    The PERMANENT ERROR values are meant to provide a source of performance information for all 3490 drives in the operating system. The TOTAL MEGABYTES read, written and processed are for all 3490 drives used by the operating system.

    An asterisk (*) in the calculation field (to the right of the equal sign) indicates that no errors were logged.

  • AVERAGE is the total number of megabytes divided by the total number of errors of a particular type, for all 3490 drives that were used by the operating system.

    For example:

    Average Megabytes/Temporary Read Errors is the total number of the megabytes read divided by the total number of the temporary read errors.

    The PERMANENT ERROR values are meant to provide a source of performance information for all 3490 drives in the operating system.

    The TOTAL MEGABYTES read, written and processed are for all 3490 drives used by the operating system.

    An asterisk (*) in the calculation field (to the right of the equal sign) indicates that no errors were logged.

CPU, MODEL, SERIAL NUMBER further identifies the CPU listed in the error summary lines of the report.
