Dell PowerVault TL2000 Reference Guide

PREVENT / ALLOW MEDIA REMOVAL (1Eh)
The PREVENT / ALLOW MEDIA REMOVAL commands enable or disable removing cartridges from the
media changer. A prevent condition inhibits the media changer to remove magazines and open the
Import/Export element. A prevent condition of the media changer shall not affect an UNLOAD command
issued to the tape drive. Also a prevent condition shall not inhibit a front panel LOAD of a cartridge when
the tape drive is empty. A prevent condition is cleared when all initiators issue the Prevent Allow Medium
Removal command with the Prevent field set to 0 (allow cartridge removal). The prevent condition is also
cleared after a power on and after a SCSI Bus reset.
