7.2 Field Definitions
Byte 01, Bit 2 - BT (Block Type)
TheBTbitdeterminesthetypeofblocknumbercontainedinthe
Block Address field (bytes 03 through 06), as follows:
0 – The Block Address field contains the SCSI logical block number,
numbered sequentially from the beginning of the tape (or the
beginning of the partition for a dual-partition tape in 8500c
format).
1 – The Block Address field contains an Exabyte-unique block address
(currently not implemented).
Byte 01, Bit 1 - CP (Change Partitions)
EXB-8505 For a dual-partition tape, the CP bit causes the EXB-8505 to move to
the partition specified by the Partition field (byte 08) before
positioning to the requested block, as follows:
0 – Ignore the Partition field. That is, do not move the tape from the
current partition.
1 – Move to the partition specified in the Partition field.
Note: If the tape contains just one partition, the CP bit must be 0.
EXB-8205 The EXB-8205 does not support multiple partitions. This bit must be 0.
Byte 01, Bit 0 - Immed
The Immed bit is used to determine when command status is
returned to the initiator.
0 – Status is reported to the initiator when the LOCATE command is
completed.
1 – Status is reported to the initiator when the LOCATE command is
initiated by the CTS.
