CHAPTER 19—REQUEST VOLUME ELEMENT ADDRESS (B5h)
Full – Byte 02, Bit 0
This field indicates whether the cartridge loader contains a cartridge. Since no
match could have been made if there were no cartridge present, the value for
this field is always 1.
Additional Sense Code (ASC) – Byte 04
If the cartridge loader is in an abnormal state, this field contains the value 83h.
Refer to Table 19-2 for the corresponding ASCQ values and a corrective action
for each abnormal state.
Additional Sense Code Qualifier (ASCQ) – Byte 05
The values for this field are listed in Table 19-2, along with the corrective action
to take for each abnormal state.
SValid – Byte 09, Bit 7
This bit is set as follows:
0 – The Source Storage Element Address field (bytes 10 and 11) is invalid.
1 – The Source Storage Element Address field (bytes 10 and 11) is valid.
Invert – Byte 09, Bit 6
The autoloader uses single-sided media and does not support inverting of the
media. The information reported for this field is 0.
Source Storage Element Address – Bytes 10 and 11
This field shows the address of the last element from which the cartridge was
moved.
Primary Volume Tag Information – Bytes 12 through 47
When the PVolTag field (in the Element Status page described on page 19-5) is
set to 1, this field contains the volume tag (bar code label) information of the
cartridge in the cartridge loader. The autoloader supports eight bytes of
volume tag information, so only the first eight bytes reported are valid.
