SCSI Commands
READ Command (08h) (continued)
The meaning of EOM is different for a READ command than for a WRITE-related
command. EOM is reported only when the physical EOM or End-of-Partition (EOP) is
encountered. The drive returns a CHECK CONDITION status. The EOM and Valid bits
are set and the Sense Key is set to MEDIUM ERROR. The information fields contain the
residue count and the Additional Sense Code and Additional Sense Code Qualifier fields
are set to EOM/P DETECTED. The tape is physically positioned at EOM/P.
If any READ command cannot be successfully completed, the drive returns a CHECK
CONDITION status. Further commands should attempt to move past the anomaly and
to complete successfully.
