39.Sh NAME
40.Nm tm
41.Nd
42.Tn TM-11 Ns / Tn TE-10
43mag tape device interface
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Sy "controller tm0 at uba? csr 0172520 vector tmintr"
46.Sy "tape te0 at tm0 drive 0"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
49.Bx 4.4
50yet.
51.Pp
52The
53.Tn TM-11 Ns / Tn TE-10
54combination provides a standard tape drive
55interface as described in
56.Xr mtio 4 .
57Hardware implementing this on the
58.Tn VAX
59is typified by the Emulex
60.Tn TC-11
61controller operating with a Kennedy model 9300 tape transport,
62providing 800 and 1600
63.Tn BPI operation at 125
64.Tn IPS .
65.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
66.Bl -diag
67.It te%d: no write ring.
68An attempt was made to write on the tape drive
69when no write ring was present; this message is written on the terminal of
70the user who tried to access the tape.
71.Pp
72.It te%d: not online.
73An attempt was made to access the tape while it
74was offline; this message is written on the terminal of the user
75who tried to access the tape.
76.Pp
77.It te%d: can't change density in mid-tape.
78An attempt was made to write
79on a tape at a different density than is already recorded on the tape.
80This message is written on the terminal of the user who tried to switch
81the density.
82.Pp
83.It te%d: hard error bn%d er=%b.
84A tape error occurred
85at block
86.Em bn ;
87the tm error register is
88printed in octal with the bits symbolically decoded.  Any error is
89fatal on non-raw tape; when possible the driver will have retried
90the operation which failed several times before reporting the error.
91.Pp
92.It te%d: lost interrupt.
93A tape operation did not complete
94within a reasonable time, most likely because the tape was taken
95off-line during rewind or lost vacuum.  The controller should, but does not,
96give an interrupt in these cases.  The device will be made available
97again after this message, but any current open reference to the device
98will return an error as the operation in progress aborts.
