SCSI COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS IN THIS MANUAL

The SCSI commands are presented in alphabetical order. Each command starts on a
new, odd-numbered page. Because information about a particular command may span
multiple pages, the command name is repeated, in Italics, at the top of every page that
concerns that command. Blank pages in the chapter can be used for note-taking.
The SCSI command descriptions that make up the rest of Chapter 5 contain detailed
information about each command supported by the Quantum DLT 8000 system tape
drive. Fields common to many of the SCSI commands are supported as follows:
Name of Field:
Logical Unit Number
Reserved
RelAdr
Explanations for those common fields are not repeated for every command in which they
appear.
How Field is Supported in SCSI Commands:
LUN for tape drive is 0.
Reserved bits, fields, bytes, and code values are
set aside for future standardization and must be
set to 0. If the drive receives a command that
contains non-zero bits in a reserved field or a
reserved code value, the command is terminated
with a CHECK CONDITION status and the sense
key is set to ILLEGAL REQUEST.
Relative Address. Unused; contents should be 0.
