Initialize Element Status with Range (37h)
The Initialize Element Status With Range command (37h) is a request from the host to perform an inventory of a portion of the cartridge tapes within the library. The library accepts this command for compatibility, but does not perform any action.
The library performs an audit of and maintains the inventory upon power up. The library also performs an audit after some one has opened and closed the front door.
The command descriptor block is validated even though the command is not used. No checks are made of ignored fields (see below).
An initiator can obtain inventory information for the library by using the Read Element Status command.
