Interface Implementation 1 HP Ultrium drives use SCSI-3 as the interface to connect to the host system. This chapter gives an overview of how the interface operates. Full details of the messages are given in Chapter 2 and of commands in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. The SCSI Interface The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is an industry standard, approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). You are recommended to read the ANSI standard document in conjunction with this manual

The known base state is defined in the SCSI-3 specification and includes the following: ■ The current I/O process is aborted. ■ Any queued I/O processes from other initiators are removed. ■ All reservations are cleared. ■ All mode values are reset to their defaults. ■ Synchronous/Wide negotiations are cleared (SCSI drives only). ■ A UNIT ATTENTION condition is set. ■ Any buffered writes are flushed to tape. ■ The logical position is undefined.

If the subsequent message is rejected with an Message Parity Error, then the drive goes to Status phase and sends CHECK CONDITION status. The sense key is set to ABORTED COMMAND with additional sense of 4300h (message error). On detecting a bus parity error during a Message Out phase, the drive will handshake in all message bytes until ATN is deasserted. It will then stay in Message Out p
