Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for handling errors includes detecting that an error has occurred in a machine in a system, determining an error ID associated with the error, determining that the error should be reported to a host system for further analysis based on the error ID, determining that one or more actions should be taken by the system based on the error ID, and sending information corresponding to the error to the host system after it is determined that the error should be reported to the host system. In another embodiment, a system includes a processor and logic for performing the method. According to another embodiment, a computer program product includes a computer readable storage medium having computer readable code embodied therewith for performing the method. Other methods, systems, and computer program products are also described according to more embodiments.

Abstract: A virtual tape server for executing a method involving a partitioning of a virtual tape volume into a plurality of virtual tape blocks. The virtual tape volume includes a virtual tape volume header having recovery information, each virtual tape block includes a virtual tape block header identifying the virtual tape volume and a block sequence number, and one or more of the virtual tape blocks includes the virtual tape volume header. The method further involves a formatting of a physical tape volume including each virtual tape block.
