Sense format 1, exception class 6 means that the device has
"environmental data" to upload to the host, and that it's
expecting the host to respond with the appropriate channel
program to do so.  Don't worry about this - it isn't really
an error.  For some reason that I've been unable to divine,
the DASD driver feels compelled to report this and confuse
people.
