Move Medium
Julyl 2017 Command Set 163
Move Medium
The Move Medium command (A5h) moves a cartridge tape from one specific element
location to another specific element location.
The Mode Sense command provides a matrix with the valid source and destination
element combinations for the Move Medium command.
When the destination element is a tape drive, the library performs the move motion,
and waits until the tape drive load operation completes before returning status for
the move command.
When the source element is a tape drive and the Move Option is set to 00b or 11b, the
library unloads the tape from the drive and then moves the cartridge.
