Change history
Version 3231 to version 3233
- Fixes various time out errors
Version 3206 to Version 3221
- Add SAS SCSI commands and Task Management functions to higher level SCSI code.
- Fix various hang conditions.
- Holding Eject button down while injecting cartridge causes interference.
- In some logs, the drive and tape ID in the sick tape table appears to be invalid.
- Fix ILLEGAL REQUEST during partition.
- When host issues constant Test Unit Readys, the log fills with them.
- Fix hang due to the drive being disconnected while an emergency unload was initiated.
- Fix Illegal Request occurring on a mode select (partition) command.
- Fix error during space forward and crashing into either end of data or filemark/setmark.
- Added text descriptions (vs hex number) for all Fault Symptom Code's in the logs.
- Cleaning cartridge use is adding false time to the dirty timer.
- Change that ties in all worn/spent media conditions into user notifications (LED's, log sense, ...).
- Added detection of Physical End Of Tape during tape path load of cleaning media.
- Improved the handling of tape loops that occur while we are trying to move away from Beginning Of Tape or End Of Tape.
- After a load of a broken tape, the tape is correctly ejected but both the Green ready LED and Clean LED are on.
- Add Load & Unload Retry Counts to the Retry Level Log Sense Page (page 3Ah)
- Use the position of tape at power-up to estimate the last place tape was written when dirty format starts.
- Fix condition where servo error can cause tape to appear uninitialized.
- When running Internal Self Test with an write protected X tape, the drive ejects the tape and sets the LED indication to look like it passed the test when it was never run.
- When running the Internal Self Test on a VXA-3 drive using a V17 tape the test will fail and unrecoverable error is posted but is cleared after 3 to 4 seconds. After the status is cleared it looks like the test has passed.
- Provide the ability to perform an emergency eject via the drives eject button.
- A case exists where we do not position back far enough during our permanent read retry.
- Logs sometimes contain an enormous number of entries for Test Unit Read commands.
- Tape won’t unload if servo broken when coming out of media preservation mode.
