Move Medium—A5h
Command Description
The MOVE MEDIUM command asks the library to move media from one element location to
another. The locations are identified by their element addresses.
The MODE SENSE data contains a matrix with the valid element source-destination
combinations for the MOVE MEDIUM command, as described in Table 6-6: Device
Capabilities Fields Format–1Fh on page 32. Send a READ ELEMENT STATUS command to the
library to find out current element addresses and which elements contain media. The
table below shows the CDB for the MOVE MEDIUM command.
