Note: The Write Buffer Full Ratio and the Read Buffer Empty Ratio
in the Device Configuration Page have the same function as
the Motion Threshold in the Vendor Unique Parameters Page
1. If both pages are sent, the value that is received last by the
CTS takes precedence. For more information about the
motion threshold, see Section 3.6.
Bytes 06 and 07 - Write Delay Time
If a WRITE command completes without transferring enough data to
exceed the value specified for the Write Buffer Full Ratio, the value
specified by the Write Delay Time field is used to determine the
maximum amount of time, in units of 100 msec, that the data will
remain in the buffer. When the time specified by Write Delay Time
elapses, the data in the buffer is written to tape.
A value of 0 for this field indicates that a partially full buffer will not
be flushed to tape until the CTS receives a command that would
otherwise flush the buffer (for example, REWIND, UNLOAD, SPACE,
LOCATE in the reverse direction, and so on).
The default value for this byte is 0. Valid values for this field are
0000h to 3FFFh (approximately 27 minutes). A value greater than
3FFFh is not an error and will be truncated to 3FFFh.
Byte 08, Bit 7 - DBR (Data Buffer Recovery)
The DBR bit is not supported by the CTS. The valid value for this bit
is 0.
Byte 08, Bit 6 - BIS (Block Identifier Supported)
The BIS bit indicates that block IDs are written on the tape relative to
each partition. This bit is set to 1 in the MODE SENSE data and is
ignored by the CTS in the MODE SELECT command.
Byte 08, Bit 5 - RSmk (Report Setmarks)
EXB-8505 The RSmk bit specifies whether the EXB-8505 should return Check
Condition status when it encounters a setmark on the tape during
read, verify, space block, or space filemark operations, as follows:
0 – Do not report setmarks (setmarks are ignored).
1 – Return Check Condition status when a setmark is encountered
(default).
