Initialize Element Status

Initialize Element Status
The host uses the Initialize Element Status command (07h) to request an inventory
of the cartridge tapes held in the library. The library accepts this command for
compatibility, but does not perform any action.
At power-on the library 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.
