Field descriptions:
PF: Page Format. The value for this bit must be set to 1 to indicate that the SEND DIAGNOSTICS
parameters conform to the page structure as specified in SCSI-2.
SelfT: This bit indicates whether the media changer should perform the diagnostic test specified in the
parameter list or a standard self-test. The library only supports the self-test and should therefore
be set to 1.
DOfl: Device Offline. Since diagnostics tests must be performed when the media changer is online, the
value of this bit must be set to 0.
UOfl: Unit Offline. Since the media changer is a single logical unit, the value of this bit must be set to 0.
Parameter List Length:
The media changer does not accept additional parameters for diagnostics test. Must be set to
zero.
