To the members of
the ADI working group.
In the RMC Logical
Unit Descriptor in Modepage 0Eh, Sunpage 03h, the description of the Offline bit
states that
if this bit is set
to one, the RMC device server shall respond with a Check Condition to all SCSI
commands.
The Sk/Asc/Ascq
shall be 02h/04h/12h Logical Unit Not Ready, Offline.
This Asc/Ascq is
specified in SPC-4 to apply to Media Change Devices and to the
Automation/Drive interface
and not to the
Sequential Access Devices.
Is the tape drive in
an Aotomation device considered to be a part of the Media Changer Device from
the SPC-4 point of view?.
If not, should
someone have SPC-4 add the Sequential access device to the list of devices
implementing this ASCQ?
