valid sense data as defined by the hex ‘71’ in the first sense byte position.
Therefore, we have valid data to rely on. While the data shows that this example is
a TAPE_ERR2, it could also be caused by a library failure. Further review of the
ASC/ASCQ, (Media load or eject failed), points more to a problem with the media
or the drive. Also note that the FSC listed was F402 which is a timeout while
attempting to load drive 2. For more information about the Sense Key and
ASC/ASCQ fields, refer to the “IBM System Storage TS3100 Tape Library and
TS3200 Tape Library SCSI Reference” document.
