Descriptions
Field Name Value Description
Prevent 0 Clears the Prevent state corresponding to the initiator. When all initiators have
cleared their Prevent states, the Eject button and UNLOAD commands are
enabled both for the drive and for any attached tape automation system, library,
or loader. By default after power-on, a reset condition, or a TARGET RESET
message, the PREVENT MEDIUM REMOVAL function is cleared.
1 Effectively disables the Eject button on the drive’s front panel. The UNLOAD
command does not unload the tape medium or the data cartridge. Each initiator
maintains the PREVENT / ALLOW status in the drive separately. If the drive is
in a tape automation system, library, or loader, any MOVE MEDIUM
command is prevented from removing a data cartridge.
