Byte 03 - Active Partition
EXB-8505 If you have set the CAP bit (byte 02, bit 6) to 1 to change the active
partition, the Active Partition byte indicates the number of the new
partition that the tape is to be moved to, as follows:
0 – Move to the logical beginning (LBOP) of the second partition.
1 – Move to the logical beginning (LBOP) of the first partition.
Notes:
If the tape contains no partitions, the Active Partition byte must
be 0.
If the CAP bit is 0, the EXB-8505 ignores the Active Partition byte.
In the MODE SENSE data, the Active Partition byte indicates the
currently active partition. A value of 0 indicates that the tape
either has no partitions, or the currently active partition is the
second partition. A value of 1 indicates that the currently active
partition is the first partition.
EXB-8205 The EXB-8205 does not support partitions. The valid value for this
byte is 0.
Byte 04 - Write Buffer Full Ratio
The Write Buffer Full Ratio represents the amount of data that must
be present in the buffer during a buffered write operation before that
data is written to the tape. The value is expressed in 4-KByte
increments. The default value for this byte is 80h (512 KBytes). Valid
values range from 20h to D0h (128 to 832 KBytes).
The Write Buffer Full Ratio must equal the Read Buffer Empty Ratio
(see the following field). If these values are not equal, the CTS returns
Check Condition status with the sense key set to Illegal Request (5h).
Byte 05 - Read Buffer Empty Ratio
The Read Buffer Empty Ratio represents how empty the buffer must
be during a buffered read operation before additional data will be
read from the tape. The value is expressed in 4-KByte increments. The
default value for this byte is 80h (512 KBytes). Valid values range
from 20h to D0h (128 to 832 KBytes).
The Read Buffer Empty Ratio must equal the Write Buffer Full Ratio.
If these values are not equal, the CTS returns Check Condition status
with the sense key set to Illegal Request (5h).
