SCSI Commands Initialize Element Status - 07h What the Library Does With This Command The library will determine status (full or empty) for all elements, as well as barcode label information (volume tags) for the media. Barcode labels will be scanned unless otherwise directed (and the library supports a non-barcode option). The library may not fully execute this command if the Automatic Inventory option is enabled, and element status is already known. Results of the status initialization will be buffered by the library for retrieval via the READ ELEMENT STATUS command. Element status and barcode label information is retained by the library across power cycles. Command Usage This command can be used to gather status for all the elements, and should be issued whenever the library indicates that element status may have changed, such as after a power cycle or door opening and closing. It should then be followed by a READ ELEMENT STATUS command to retrieve the status. PowerVault ML6000 SCSI Reference Guide 11

SCSI Commands
Initialize Element Status - 07h
What the Library Does With This Command
The library will determine status (full or empty) for all elements, as well as barcode label information (volume
tags) for the media. Barcode labels will be scanned unless otherwise directed (and the library supports a
non-barcode option). The library may not fully execute this command if the Automatic Inventory option is
enabled, and element status is already known.
Results of the status initialization will be buffered by the library for retrieval via the READ ELEMENT
STATUS command. Element status and barcode label information is retained by the library across power
cycles.
Command Usage
This command can be used to gather status for all the elements, and should be issued whenever the library
indicates that element status may have changed, such as after a power cycle or door opening and closing.
It should then be followed by a READ ELEMENT STATUS command to retrieve the status.
