cpqFcTapeCountersTotalUncorrectable
Module: CPQFCA-MIB
OID (symbolic): CPQFCA-MIB::cpqFcTapeCountersTotalUncorrectable
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.16.3.4.1.1.8
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: Tape Device Total Uncorrectable Errors.
This is the total number of read and write errors which could not be corrected. 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 cpqFcTapeCountersTotalUncorrectable?
This counter reports the total number of read and write errors on the tape device that could not be corrected, tracked since the Tape Hardware Interface driver was loaded. An admin treats a rise in this specific counter as more serious than correctable errors, since it directly indicates data that could not be reliably written or recovered. For example, any nonzero uncorrectable error count on a critical backup job would prompt verifying that job's tape before relying on it for a restore.
