HP LTO 4 SCSI, LTO 4 FC Dh-VOLUME OVERFLOW, A WRITE or WRITE FILEMARKS command has encountered

Page 76

Dh—VOLUME OVERFLOW

Code	Meaning	Comments
4E 00	Overlapped commands	A host has selected the drive even though it already has
	attempted	a command outstanding.

74 08	Digital signature validation	The SCSI command used to download the new firmware
	failure	image failed because the firmware image digital
		signature could not be correctly validated.

Dh—VOLUME OVERFLOW

Code	Meaning	Comments
00 02	End of Tape detected	A WRITE or WRITE FILEMARKS command has encountered
		EOT or the physical end of tape. The EOM flag will be
		set.

NOTE: When the sense, additional sense and qualifying sense keys are listed, the software may look at all three keys to determine action. The drive should use that exact combination to report that particular error.

For example, a drive will report that it is not ready when there is no cartridge present by setting sense key = NOT READY with additional/qualifying sense keys = 04 02. No other combination of additional/qualifying sense keys may be used to report that particular condition.
