0×6: Only report informational exception condition on request. This method
instructs the device server to preserve information exception(s) information. To find
out about information exception conditions the application client polls the device
server by issuing an unsolicited REQUEST SENSE command. The Sense Key shall
be set to No Sense and the additional Sense Code shall indicate the cause of the
informational exception condition (which is 5D00 for a TapeAlert event).
With MRIE modes 0x1 to 0x6, the additional Sense Code of 5D00 indicates that a
TapeAlert event has occurred on the device, and detailed information about this
event is stored in the TapeAlert Log page. Note that the MRIE modes do not affect
the logging of events in the TapeAlert Log page.
