2.3.2 Reset Condition
The SDLT tape drive responds to bus reset conditions as follows:
• Within 250 milliseconds—and typically under 4 milliseconds—after a bus reset, the drive
responds to SCSI bus selections and returns the appropriate normal responses. Tape motion
commands are returned with Check Condition status, Sense Key of Not Ready, until the drive
makes the medium ready.
• The drive rewinds the tape medium to Beginning of Partition (BOP, which is Beginning of Tape
[BOT]).
NOTE: The SDLT tape drive does not implement the hard reset alternative for bus
RESET processing.
The SDLT tape drive recognizes multiple bus resets in succession as well as bus resets of arbitrarily
long duration (power-on conditions). It recovers within the time limits specified above following the
last bus reset.
