Configuration Overview
Buffered Tape Writes
This option is designed to enhance system performance by returning status on consecutive write commands prior to the tape device receiving data. If data does not transfer correctly, the router returns a check condition on a subsequent command.
Commands other than Write are not issued until status is received for any pending Write, and status is not returned until the device completes the command. This sequence is appropriate for tasks such as file backup or restore.
Some applications require confirmation of individual blocks being written to the medium, such as for audit trail tapes or log tapes. In these instances, the Buffer Tape Writes option must be disabled.
