■l = library ID

■m = module ID

■r = row ID

■c = column ID

Volid

VOLID of the cartridge involved in the error.

Drive Serial Num

Serial number of the drive involved in the error.

Drive Type

Type of drive. For example, Hewlett-Packard LTO Ultrium 2 or Quantum SDLT 320.

Exception

Type of error. Options are:

■LoadError—The drive load failed after all retries were attempted. See LoadRetry for an explanation of the retry conditions.

■LoadRetry—The drive load was successful, but required one or more retries, which involve removing and reinserting the cartridge and reissuing a load command to the drive. A retry is initiated if either the cartridge is not detected as sensed from the drive (except DLT drives), or the load command to the drive fails.

■MediaError—The drive signaled a media error during drive load or unload. IBM drives allow cartridges with media errors to be loaded, while Hewlett-Packard drives do not.

■UnloadError—The library could not successfully unload and remove the cartridge from the drive.
