List of the error strings reported with PLM/RPLM(#16)
ERR_PDS_03_INIT:
Meaning
Error while initializing/opening the device node.
Illegal device node (path).
Illegal directory in the cartridge’s memory chip
1
(tape directory corrupted).
Response
Evaluate physical error code.
This error can occur if the SCSI devices/controllers cannot be accessed when CentricStor
is started up. Therefore check whether all the drives have been switched on and are online
and whether the cables are okay. In the event of an illegal directory in the memory chip, PLM
attempts to read the directory at the end of the cartridge and to store it in the memory
memory chip. If the error occurs regularly despite this the cartridge must be replaced. Notify
maintenance staff if necessary.
ERR_PDS_03_POSITION
Meaning
Positioning error: the position is beyond the end of the tape or < 0 or
the position is at exactly the same position as the tape mark.
Response
Notify maintenance staff.
ERR_PDS_03_READ
Meaning
Read error on tape cartridge
Cartridge is not ready
Cartridge is defective
Response
The tape cartridge may well be defective. Notify maintenance staff if necessary.
ERR_PDS_03_WRITE
Meaning
Write error to tape
Response
This may be normal (if the sense ASC reports a tape length error), but it could also indicate
that the MTC drive or the tape cartridge is defective. Notify maintenance staff if necessary.
