When you insert a data cartridge into the CTS, the CTS returns Check
Condition status with the sense key set to Unit Attention (6h).
However, if you insert a data cartridge and autoloading is prevented
(that is, autoload was disabled with a MODE SELECT command and
a LOAD (1Bh) command was not received), the CTS returns Check
Condition status with the sense key set to Not Ready (2h).
Clearing the Unit Attention Condition
The Unit Attention condition persists for each initiator until that
initiator issues any command other than INQUIRY (12h) or REQUEST
SENSE (03h).
First Command Received after Unit Attention Occurs
If the first command received after a Unit Attention condition occurs
is an INQUIRY or REQUEST SENSE command, the CTS executes the
command, reports any pending status, and preserves the Unit
Attention sense data. If the first command received after a Unit
Attention condition occurs is any other command, the CTS does not
execute the command and returns Check Condition status with the
sense key set to Unit Attention (6h).
Next Command Received after Unit Attention Reported
If the next command after the Unit Attention condition has been
reported with Check Condition status is a REQUEST SENSE or an
INQUIRY command, the CTS executes the command and preserves
the Unit Attention sense data. If, however, the next command after
the Unit Attention condition has been reported with Check Condition
status is any other command, then the command is executed and the
Unit Attention sense data is cleared.
Note: If multiple Unit Attention conditions occur before the initiator
selects the CTS, only the sense data for the latest Unit
Attention condition is presented.
