A return value of 011b indicates no peripheral device types are supported at that LUN. Peripheral Device Type - For Media Changer logical units, this field returns 01000b (08h) to indicate it is a Media Changer device.

Normal ACA Supported (NormACA) - This field returns a 1, indicating the NACA bit in the Control byte of a CDB is supported. The PowerVault ML6000 library without Data Appliance blades does not support the NACA bit and therefore returns 0 for this field. Hierarchical Support (HiSup) - This field returns a 1, indicating that the hierarchical addressing model is used to assign LUNs, and that the REPORT LUNs command is supported. Response Data Format - Returned as 0010b, indicating response data is in standard SCSI format. 16 SCSI Commands

SCSI Commands
Standard Inquiry Response
Peripheral Qualifier
– A return value of 000b indicates that the library supports the peripheral device type
at the specified LUN. A return value of 001b indicates that the library is capable of supporting the peripheral
device type at the specified LUN, however the device is not currently connected to it. A return value of 011b
indicates no peripheral device types are supported at that LUN.
Peripheral Device Type
– For Media Changer logical units, this field returns 01000b (08h) to indicate it is
a Media Changer device. For the Controller logical unit, this field returns 01100b (0Ch) to indicate it is a
Controller device. If an unsupported LUN was specified, this field returns 11111b (1Fh), which indicates that
the device type is unknown.
Removable Medium Bit (RMB)
– For Media Changer logical units, this field returns 1, indicating media is
removable. For the Controller logical unit it returns 0.
Version
– This field returns 03h, indicating compliance with the SCSI-3 standard.
Asynchronous Event Reporting Capability (AERC)
– Returned as 0, indicating AERC is not supported.
Normal ACA Supported (NormACA)
– This field returns a 1, indicating the NACA bit in the Control byte
of a CDB is supported. The PowerVault ML6000 library without Data Appliance blades does not support the
NACA bit and therefore returns 0 for this field.
Hierarchical Support (HiSup)
– This field returns a 1, indicating that the hierarchical addressing model is
used to assign LUNs, and that the REPORT LUNs command is supported.
Response Data Format
– Returned as 0010b, indicating response data is in standard SCSI format.
