DLm0067I

BusyType set to Busy/Immediate/Deferred

Description: The virtual tape application can be configured to send various status codes to hold off the host under busy conditions. The default is to send a true busy signal.

System Action: The virtual tape application sends a busy status if BusyType is set to "busy", an immediate command retry for "immediate", and a deferred command retry for "deferred". User Action: None. Do not change this setting unless directed to do so by Dell EMC Support. Changing this value could cause channel errors.

DLm0068I

Testing of compressed data set ON [(CRYPT)]/OFF

Description: By default, Virtuent performs an internal data integrity check of data it has compressed before writing it to the virtual tape library, by decompressing it and comparing it to the original data sent from the host.

System Action: If this option is set to CRYPT (the default), data compressed by Virtuent is 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: It is recommended that this option always be left set to CRYPT (the default).

DLm0069I

Resetting Events will [not] be sent to firmware

Description: A resetting event is any event that resets a channel-attached device's pathgroup 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: Low-level channel resetting event status will not be sent to the channel when this option is set OFF.

User Action: None. Under normal conditions, the low-level channel resetting event indication 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.

DLm0070I

<emulation type> emulation version set to n

Description: The virtual tape application is configured to invoke the specified channel adapter emulation version.

Disk space RECOVER level [set to nn%]/[is N/A]

 

Description: The virtual tape application is configured to start erasing scratch tape volumes to

 

recover disk space when disk utilization reaches nn% full. If "is N/A" is displayed, the Erase

 

Policy is set to a "time-to-live" policy rather than a space-usage policy, so the RECOVER setting

 

is irrelevant.

DLm0082I

Resetting Events will [not] be ignored

Description: A resetting event is any event that resets a channel-attached device's pathgroup 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. Occasionally, especially with older standalone IPL programs, a Host may not handle a resetting event unit check correctly. In this case, the controller can be configured to NOT send resetting event unit checks. This message is displayed when resetting event notification is turned on or off.

System Action: Resetting event unit checks will not be sent to the Host when this option is set. User Action: None. Under normal conditions, the controller should NOT be configured to ignore resetting events. Doing so can cause problems when varying on devices to a Host that does properly handle, and actually expects, resetting event unit checks. Contact Dell EMC Support for more information.

DLm0083I

Compression level set to n (0=none,1=faster,10=smaller)

Description: This message displays the compression level set by default, in the configuration file, or by the SET COMPRESSION command. The compression level ranges from 0 (no compression at all) to 10 (maximum compression with maximum overhead). The default compression level is 1 (minimum compression with minimum overhead).

System Action: None.
