SCSI Commands

REQUEST SENSE Command (03h) (continued)

The REQUEST SENSE command causes the tape drive to transfer detailed sense data to the initiator.

The sense data is valid for a CHECK CONDITION or RESERVATION CONFLICT status returned on the previous command. The sense data bytes are preserved by the tape drive until retrieved by a REQUEST SENSE command, or until the receipt of any other command from the same initiator, though some commands, such as INQUIRY, do not change sense data.

If the tape drive receives an unsolicited REQUEST SENSE, it returns sense data with the appropriate values in the End of Media (EOM), Sense Key, Additional Sense Code, and Additional Sense Code Qualifier. The positional information provided reflects the logical position of the tape drive. The tape drive returns information based on the non-diagnostic data in its buffer as well as the data on tape medium. Additionally, bytes 25 through 28 contain the amount of tape to be written in 4 KB blocks.

REQUEST SENSE does not cause the drive to flush its buffered data to tape. Therefore, if the host requires the exact physical positioning of the tape medium, it should precede the REQUEST SENSE command with a WRITE FILEMARKS command with length 0 (Immed=0) specified. This forces the tape drive to flush any currently-buffered data to tape. A subsequent REQUEST SENSE command returns the actual physical (and logical) position of the tape drive to the initiator.

The following illustration portrays the format of REQUEST SENSE DATA.
