Volume List service action

The Volume List service action is used to report the number of volumes that the device server supports, which in the case of Ultrium drives is 1. The Volume Number, Partition Number and Attribute fields in the CDB are ignored. The information returned is as follows:

The First Partition Number is the first volume. Since Ultrium drives do not support multiple volumes, this is 0.

The Number of Volumes Available indicates the number of partitions available. Since Ultrium drives do not support multiple volumes, this is 1.
