Description: Tape Device Total Errors.
This is the total number of read/write errors encountered. This value is maintained since the Tape Hardware Interface driver was loaded.
Errors may occasionally occur. If this value should rise dramatically, you may need to clean the device. If you continue to have errors, you may have a problem. Some common causes include radio frequency interference (RFI) on the bus cables, bad or missing terminating resisters on the drives or having more than one device with the same SCSI ID. Insure the bus cable is free of obstructions and that the devices on the bus are properly configured.
What is cpqFcTapeCountersTotalErrors?
This counter reports the total number of read/write errors encountered by the tape device since the Tape Hardware Interface driver was loaded. An admin tracks this as an overall error trend, treating a dramatic rise as a sign the device needs cleaning, and persistent errors afterward as a sign of a deeper hardware, media, or cabling problem. For example, a steadily climbing total error count across multiple backup jobs would justify pulling this drive from service for testing.
