Yes this ASCQ should be added to the
Sequential Access Device column in SPC-4.
Ralph,
Can you do this editorially?

ADI: The functionallity of the Offline
bit in ModePage 0Eh, Subpage 03h The RMC logical unit descriptor.
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?
