Table 6-98 Send Volume Tag Command - Sun Microsystems storagetek sl500 Reference Manual

Send Volume Tag
The Send Volume Tag command (B6h) is a request for the library to transfer a
volume tag template. The template corresponds to a VOLSER label template and is
used by the library to search for desired elements. A subsequent Request Volume
Element Address command is used to transfer the results of this search.

For an Element Type Code of 0h, the element types are reported in ascending
element address order, beginning with the first element greater than or equal
to Starting Element Address.
This field specifies the element address at which to start the search. Only
elements with an element address greater than or equal to the Starting Element
Address are reported.
The Starting Element Address must be a valid address for the library, but does
not have to be an address of the type requested in the Element Type Code.
