Reset Processing
This section specifies how the CTS processes power-on resets, SCSI
bus resets, and device resets. The CTS processes resets differently
depending on whether a data cartridge is present or not.
Data Cartridge Present before Reset
If a data cartridge is present before the reset occurs, the tape is
rewound, unloaded, and reloaded. When the reset is complete, the
tape is positioned at LBOT and the CTS is ready to process tape
motion commands.
When a data cartridge is present, the CTS responds to the reset as
follows:
It returns Check Condition status to the first command received.
The sense key is set to Unit Attention (6h), and the Additional
Sense Code (ASC) and Additional Sense Code Qualifier (ASCQ)
fields indicate that a reset occurred.
It processes all non-motion commands. The default status
returned by the TEST UNIT READY (00h) command is Check
Condition status with the sense key set to Not Ready (2h). The
ASC and ASCQ fields indicate that the device is becoming ready.
An EEPROM option is available to control how the CTS handles tape
motion commands during reset and load operations (see the
“Command queuing” option on page A-22). Depending on the CTS’s
EEPROM image, the CTS performs one of the following actions when
it receives tape motion commands during a reset or load operation:
It queues (holds) one tape motion command (and disconnects, if
allowed) until the reset operation is complete and the tape is
loaded. Once the load is complete, it processes the queued
command.
It returns Busy status.
It returns Check Condition status with the sense key set to Not
Ready.
If the tape is already rewound when the reset occurs, the reset takes
about one minute to complete. Additional time is required if the CTS
needs to rewind the tape.
