19*47674Scael.Sh DESCRIPTION
2020748SmckusickThe
21*47674Scael.Nm ut
2220748Smckusickinterface provides access to a standard tape drive interface as
2320748Smckusickdescribe in
24*47674Scael.Xr mtio 4 .
25*47674ScaelHardware implementing this on the

28*47674ScaelIndustries
29*47674Scael.Tn SI
30*47674Scael9700 tape subsystem.  Tapes may be read or written
31*47674Scaelat 800, 1600, and 6250
32*47674Scael.Tn BPI .
33*47674Scael.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
34*47674Scael.Bl -diag
35*47674Scael.It tj%d: no write ring.
3620748SmckusickAn attempt was made to write on the tape drive
3720748Smckusickwhen no write ring was present; this message is written on the terminal of
3820748Smckusickthe user who tried to access the tape.
39*47674Scael.Pp
40*47674Scael.It tj%d: not online.
4120748SmckusickAn attempt was made to access the tape while it
4220748Smckusickwas offline; this message is written on the terminal of the user
4320748Smckusickwho tried to access the tape.
44*47674Scael.Pp
45*47674Scael.It tj%d: can't change density in mid-tape.
4620748SmckusickAn attempt was made to write
4720748Smckusickon a tape at a different density than is already recorded on the tape.
4820748SmckusickThis message is written on the terminal of the user who tried to switch
4920748Smckusickthe density.
50*47674Scael.Pp
51*47674Scael.It "ut%d: soft error bn%d cs1=%b er=%b cs2=%b ds=%b."
5220748SmckusickThe formatter indicated a corrected error at a density other
5320748Smckusickthan 800bpi.  The data transferred is assumed to be correct.
54*47674Scael.Pp
55*47674Scael.It "ut%d: hard error bn%d cs1=%b er=%b cs2=%b ds=%b."
5620748SmckusickA tape error occurred
5720748Smckusickat block
58*47674Scael.Pp
59*47674Scael.It bn.
6020748SmckusickAny error is
6120748Smckusickfatal on non-raw tape; when possible the driver will have retried
6220748Smckusickthe operation which failed several times before reporting the error.
63*47674Scael.Pp
64*47674Scael.It tj%d: lost interrupt.
6520748SmckusickA tape operation did not complete
6620748Smckusickwithin a reasonable time, most likely because the tape was taken
6720748Smckusickoff-line during rewind or lost vacuum.  The controller should, but does not,
6820748Smckusickgive an interrupt in these cases.  The device will be made available
6920748Smckusickagain after this message, but any current open reference to the device
7020748Smckusickwill return an error as the operation in progress aborts.
