Sense Key Meaning Explanation
0h No Sense
Indicates that there is no specific sense key information to be
reported for the designated logical unit. This occurs when a
command completes successfully or returns Check Condition
status with the FMK, EOM, or ILI bits set to 1.
1h Recovered Error
Indicates that the last command completed successfully with
some recovery action performed by the CTS.
2h Not Ready
Indicates that the CTS does not contain a data cartridge or
that the data cartridge is not loaded. Operator intervention
may be required to correct this condition.
3h Medium Error
Indicates that the command terminated with a non-recoverable
error condition that may have been caused by a flaw in the
tape.
4h Hardware Error
Indicates that the CTS detected a non-recoverable hardware
failure while performing the command or during a self-test.
5h Illegal Request
Indicates that there was an illegal parameter in the CDB or in
the additional parameters supplied as data for a command or
that the CTS is in the wrong mode to execute the command.
6h Unit Attention
Indicates one of the following:
■ The CTS has been reset (by a power-on reset, a Bus
Device Reset message, or a SCSI bus reset).
■ An initiator changed the MODE SELECT parameters since
the last command was issued to the CTS.
■ The unload button was pressed and the data cartridge was
ejected.
■ A data cartridge was inserted and automatically loaded.
■ A data cartridge was inserted and automatically ejected
because the media was incompatible with the CTS. (For
example, a metal evaporative tape was inserted, or a
160m tape was inserted in a non-XL CTS.)
■ The internal microcode (firmware) was changed.
■ A log parameter (counter) reached a specified threshold
value (assuming that RLEC bit on the MODE SELECT
Control Mode page is set to 1).
This sense key is reported the first time any command is
issued by each initiator after the condition is detected, and the
requested command is not performed. This sense key is
cleared when the next command other than INQUIRY or
REQUEST SENSE is received by the CTS. Refer to Section
3.9 for more information about the Unit Attention condition.
7h Data Protect
Indicates that a command that writes to tape was attempted
on a write-protected data cartridge. The write operation is not
performed.
