Description:

System Action:
decompressed, and if encrypted also decrypted, then compared to the original data from the
host before it is written to the virtual tape library. If a discrepancy is found, an error is returned
to the Host's write CCW. Setting this option to ON tells Virtuent to perform the decompression
test but after compression but before encryption. If this option is turned OFF, no internal data
integrity check is performed after compression before writing the data to the tape library.
User Action:
Resetting Events will [not] be sent to firmware
Description:
ID or assignment, such as a physical removal of paths or a system reset or restarting of the
virtual tape application. Normally after a resetting event has occurred the next command sent
by the Host receives a resetting event unit check to notify the Host that the resetting event
occurred. The Host should respond appropriately by restoring the device's pathgroup ID and
assignment information, and re-issue the unit-checked command. In addition, some channels
expect a low-level indication that a resetting event has occurred. By default, the virtual tape
application sends this special indication to the channel along with the unit check. For exceptional
conditions, the application can be configured to NOT send the low-level resetting event
indication to the channel when it sends a resetting event unit check to the Host. This message
is displayed at virtual tape application startup and whenever the low-level channel resetting
event notification option is switched on or off.
System Action:
this option is set OFF.
User Action:
should NOT be configured OFF. Under rare conditions, a channel may not correctly handle the
low-level channel resetting event indicator, and channel errors may occur. In this case, consult
Dell EMC Support before configuring this option off. Also see message DLm0082I.

by the Host receives a resetting event unit check to notify the Host that the resetting event
occurred. The Host should respond appropriately by restoring the device's pathgroup ID and
assignment information, and re-issue the unit-checked command. Occasionally, especially with
older standalone IPL programs, a Host may not handle a resetting event unit check correctly. In
