Field Name Description
MRIE Method for Reporting Informational Exceptions. The tape drive uses the
contents of this field to report information about exception conditions. Three
methods are available:
Value - Method
00h - No reporting of Informational Exception Conditions. The device server
does not report information exception conditions.
03h - Conditionally Generate Recovered Error. The device server reports
informational exception conditions, if such reports of recovered errors is
allowed, by returning CHECK CONDITION status on the next SCSI command
(except INQUIRY and REQUEST SENSE commands) following detection of the
condition. The Sense Key is set to RECOVERED ERROR with an additional sense
code of 5D 00 (TapeAlert Event). The SCSI command with CHECK CONDITION
completes without error prior to the report of any exception condition, and does
not need to be repeated.
06h - Only Report Informational Exception Condition on Request. The device
server preserves information exception data. To access the data, a poll can be
taken by issuing an unsolicited REQUEST SENSE command. The Sense Key is set
to NO SENSE with an additional sense code of 5D 00 (TapeAlert Event).
The additional sense code of 5D 00 for values 03h and 06h signals that a
TapeAlert event has occurred. Information about the event is stored in the
TapeAlert Log Page. The setting of MRIE does not impact logging of events in
the TapeAlert Log Page.
