Move Medium
164 SL150 Interface Reference Manual Julyl 2017
Move Option
These two bits define optional operations associated with the Move
Medium command.
00 = The library performs a normal move medium operation. If the source
element is a data transfer element and there is a cartridge in the data
transfer element, the library unloads the cartridge in the data transfer
element and then performs the move operation.
10 = The library performs a mount operation with write protect enabled.
That is, the user can read the data on the cartridge but cannot write to the
cartridge. This option is valid only when the destination element address
is a data transfer element. If the destination data transfer element (tape
drive) does not support this feature or fails to acknowledge the write-
protected mount option, the mount fails.
In either case, the library returns the Hardware Error sense key (04) with
an ASC of 40 and an ASCQ of 02 (Drive Error).
11 = The data transfer element specified in the source element field
performs a rewind, followed by a unload operation and then the move
medium operation. This option is valid only when the source element
address is a data transfer element.
