Initialize Element Status With Range
Julyl 2017 Command Set 31
Initialize Element Status With Range
The Initialize Element Status With Range command (37h and E7h) is a request from
the host to perform an inventory of a portion of the cartridge tapes within the library.
The library accepts this command for compatibility but does not perform any action.
When the library powers-on it performs an audit of and maintains the inventory
during operations. The library also performs an audit after someone has opened and
closed the front door.
An initiator can obtain inventory information for the library by using the Read
Element Status command.
