Byte 09 - Log Parameter Code
When a log parameter (write or read error counter) meets the
threshold criteria specified with the TMC bit in the LOG SELECT
command, the CTS sets this byte to the Parameter Code for the
parameter. For more information about the LOG SELECT command,
refertoChapter8.
Byte 10 - Reserved
This byte is reserved.
Byte 11 - Underrun/Overrun Counter
The Underrun/Overrun Counter is a dual-function counter for
logging write underruns and read overruns. This counter is used to
determine the number of times the initiator failed to maintain the CTS
in streaming mode. It is incremented any time the CTS repositions the
tape after encountering an empty data buffer during a write operation
or a full data buffer during a read operation.
The counter is reset to 0 after any of the following:
A REQUEST SENSE command is issued with the CLRCNT bit
(byte 05, bit 7) set to 1. Note that in order for the reset to be
performed, 29 (1Dh) bytes of sense data must be read by the
REQUEST SENSE command.
The tape is loaded or rewound.
The mode changes from write to read or from read to write.
The CTS is reset.
The counter does not roll over from FFFFFFh to 0 but remains at
FFFFFFh until reset.
Byte 12 - Additional Sense Code (ASC)
The Additional Sense Code, in conjunction with the Additional Sense
Code Qualifier (byte 13), provides additional information about each
sense key. Appendix E lists the possible combinations of this byte
and the ASCQ byte for each sense key. Only those ASC values used
by the CTS are shown in the appendix.
