Tape Block Error Test (#692)
This test is performed by rereading the list of tape blocks that have been
reported by the software to contain correctable (Error Type #2049) or
uncorrectable (Error Type #1793) block errors.
A correctable tape error is one in which a block error is detected but corrected
during a read or write to the tape. This type of error may be caused by either a
soft tape error (for example, the tape head is jiggled while reading or writing
data) or by a hard tape error (for example, a scratch or a hole in the tape that
affects only a single sector of the tape).
2012 ABORT 1. Do the steps below following the directions in the
‘‘
Tape Maintenance and Repair Procedures’’
section.
2. Issue the test tape long command. If the test
passes, issue the save translations command to
verify condition is clear.
3. If the test fails, make sure tape is fully inserted.
4. If the test continues to fail, clean the tape head and
retest.
5. If fail, swap tape and retest.
6. If the test still fails, swap tape unit,
use original tape
and retest.
7. If the problem still exists, escalate the problem.
FAIL The tape is currently alarmed because a save
translation or a load translation attempt failed on this
tape. Look for Errors Types #3329, #3841, #3842, and
#3843 in the Hardware Error Log and resolve these
errors by following the procedures provided in the
"Hardware Error Log Entries and Test to Clear Values"
section.
PASS The last load translation and (if any) save translation
attempts were successful on this tape.
