Media Information check

During power-on and following a SCSI reset, knowledge of the whereabouts of the cartridge is

unavailable. It is not possible to execute commands which assume that this knowledge is available

until the drive has recovered from the power-on or reset.

The test checks whether the drive knows if a cartridge is physically present in the drive.

If information about the tape cartridge is not available, the test fails with

CHECK CONDITION

, a

sense key of

NOT READY

, and additional sense of 3E00 (logical unit has not self-configured yet).

Media Write check

This checks whether the media is write-protected. If it is,

CHECK CONDITION

is reported with a

sense key of

DATA PROTECT

and additional sense of 2700h (write-protected).
