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 cpqDaTapeCountersTotalUncorrectable?
cpqDaTapeCountersTotalUncorrectable counts the total number of read and write errors on a tape device that could not be corrected, maintained since the Tape Hardware Interface driver was loaded. Because these are the errors that survived the drive's own correction attempts, a rising count here is more serious than the general total-errors counter, again pointing toward cleaning first and hardware investigation if it persists. For example, an admin who sees this uncorrectable-error count rising even after cleaning the drive would treat that as strong evidence the drive itself, not just dirty heads, needs replacement.
