The following fields defined for this page are stored in NVRAM and are maintained across power cycles and resets. If any of these fields cannot be read from NVRAM due to a NVRAM error, then the SCSI command requesting access to these fields is terminated with CHECK CONDITION status, the sense key is set to HARDWARE ERROR, and the ASC/ASCQ is set to Internal Target Failure.

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

4-11

 

 

The tape motion time field contains 8 bytes of ASCII data that is vendor-specific.

 

 

 

The tape motion time is in units of seconds and is incremented based on the speed

 

 

 

of tape motion. For example:

 

 

 

 

This time is not incremented when there is no tape motion.

 

 

 

This time is incremented at a faster rate during a rewind and at a slower rate during

 

 

 

a read operation.

 

 

 

 

The tape motion time (TMT) value can be used to calculate the total meters of tape

 

 

 

that passed over the head, based on the speed of the MTU, using the following equa-

 

 

 

tion:

 

 

 

 

# of meters = (TMT seconds) * (2 meters/second)

 

 

 

 

12-19

 

 

The power-on time field contains 8 bytes of ASCII data that is vendor-specific. The

 

 

 

power-on time indicates the total

number of minutes the unit has been powered-on.

 

 

 

 

20-27

 

 

The cleaning count field contains 8 bytes of ASCII data that is vendor-specific. The

 

 

 

cleaning count value is in units of tape sectors processed and is used to determine

 

 

 

when MTU head cleaning is required. After a cleaning operation is performed, the

 

 

 

cleaning count value is automatically set to 0.
