TABLE 22 Tape LUN states
Internal Names Console String Explanation
LUN_DIS_LUN_NOT_FOUND Disabled (LUN not found) No logical unit structure in tape 
module. This is an internal software 
error. If it occurs, contact Brocade 
support.
LUN_TGT_OFFLINE Target Offline Target port is not currently in the 
fabric. Check connections and L2 port 
state.
LUN_DIS_NOT_SUPPORTED Disabled (LUN not connected or 
supported)
The target port is active, but this 
particular Logical Unit is not 
supported by that target. This 
indicates a user configuration error.
LUN_DIS_WRONG_DEV_TYPE Disabled (Wrong device type 
found)
The logical unit on target port is 
active, but it is neither a tape or a 
medium changer. This indicates a 
user configuration error.
LUN_MEDIUM_CHANGER_ACTIVE Tape medium changer active The logical unit is a medium changer, 
fully ready to handle tapes.
LUN_VALIDATION_PENDING Tape validation pending The logical unit is either a tape drive 
or an attached medium changer, 
where changer and tape are on same 
LUN. Since the last LOAD, REWIND, or 
UNIT ATTENION, no host has 
attempted to read or write to a tape in 
this logical unit. There is no way of 
knowing if a tape is still present, or 
the encryption state of the tape. 
A host can issue a READ or WRITE to 
the logical unit. At that point, it can be 
determined whether or not a tape is 
present or needs to be mounted, and 
whether or not data is ciphertext 
(encrypted) or cleartext.
LUN_VALIDATION_IN_PROGRESS Tape validation in progress The tape module has received the 
READ or WRITE command that 
triggers the validation of tape 
encryption mode, and is in the 
process of figuring out if the mounted 
tape medium is encrypted or not. This 
state should only appear briefly.
LUN_CLEAR_TEXT Clear text The tape medium is present, and is in 
clear text. The encryption switch or 
blade has full read/write access, 
because its current tape policy for the 
medium is also clear text.
