sg_read_attr fails with DID_ABORT on tape drive

[kevinpt]

I'm trying to read an LTO tape serial number with sg_read_attr. This is a Linux system running Debian 11 with an LTO-4 drive connected to an Adaptec card. The drive works fine for normal tape operations. sg_read_attr reports a DID_ABORT condition with both /dev/nst0 and /dev/sg9:

$ sudo sg_read_attr -v -f 0x401 /dev/nst0
    Read attribute cdb: [8c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00]
read attribute: transport: Host_status=0x05 [DID_ABORT]
Driver_status=0x00 [DRIVER_OK]

$ sudo sg_read_attr -v -f 0x401 /dev/sg9
    Read attribute cdb: [8c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00]
read attribute: transport: Host_status=0x05 [DID_ABORT]
Driver_status=0x00 [DRIVER_OK]

Is there any insight on how to resolve this?
