CHAPTER 11—MOVE MEDIUM (A5h)
If you use this command to move a cartridge from a tape drive and the cartridge
is still inside the tape drive, the library waits 5 seconds and retries the move
operation. If the cartridge is still in the tape drive at that point, the library returns
Check Condition status with the sense key set to Illegal Request. The ASC is 3Bh
and the ASCQ is 90h, as described in Tabl e 11 -5 . The 5-second retry allows for
the slight delay that can occur after a tape drive indicates that it has unloaded
the tape, but before the cartridge is fully unloaded.
11.2 WHAT YOU SEND TO THE LIBRARY
Transport Element Address – Bytes 02 and 03
This field is checked for the value set by the MODE SELECT (15h) command.
It should contain 0 or the element address of the cartridge loader.
Source Address – Bytes 04 and 05
This field specifies the element address from which the cartridge is to be taken.
This can be a storage location, a tape drive, or the I/E port element.
Destination Address – Byte 06 and 07
This field specifies the element address where the cartridge is to be placed.
This can be a storage location, a tape drive, or the I/E port element.
Invert – Byte 10, Bit 0
The library does not support the Invert function. The valid value for this field
is 0.
11.3 EFFECTS ON THE CARTRIDGE INVENTORY

cartridge move operation, whether or not the cartridge move was successful.
