Table 5–55 PREVENT / ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL Command Descriptor Block -
Field Descriptions
Field Name Description
Prevent When set to 1, the UNLOAD button on the drive’s front panel is
effectively disabled, and the UNLOAD command does not unload the
tape medium or the cartridge. The PREVENT / ALLOW status in the
device is maintained separately by each initiator.
When set to 0, the prevent state corresponding to that initiator is
cleared. When all initiators have cleared their prevent states, the
UNLOAD button and UNLOAD commands are enabled. By default,
after power up, a hard reset, or Bus Device Reset message, the
prevent medium removal function is cleared.
If a Media Loader device is present, its MOVE MEDIUM command is
prevented from removing a cartridge if PREVENT has been enabled.
