Initialize Element Status With Range

The Initialize Element Status With Range command (37h) is a request from the host
to perform an inventory of a portion of the cartridge tapes within 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.
