Action Items from yesterdays ADI meeting
Hello Kevin
Here is answer for our
Action Item from yesterday’s ADI meeting:
Sorry for the delay. Are
you the right person for this answeer?
Georg Boasson
To Action Item on Tape
Alert flag 19h.
I have checked with Tandberg
Data here in Oslo and they do not implement this flag in their libraries
or loaders.
At least not in the libraries
developed here in Norway. What they do in the libraries from Exabyte, now
Tandberg Data
I do not know.
Our opinion here at Tandberg
Storage is that this flag is some kind of bucket where you put all cases
that does not fit anywhere else.
We generally do not like
unspecified TA flags like this. We should either remove it or make clear
that this is a flag that can be used to indicate that
The library has an unspecified
problem. The action should probably be something like that “If the problem
persist, call a service representative”.
Unless someone comes up
with a more specific use for this flag, I would probably vote for the removal
solution.
