Exabyte EXB-8205 Instrukcje Operacyjne Pobierz pdf (Strona 202)

For the long form, specify either 00h or 01h. Specify 00h to define

no additional partitions (that is, the tape will have only one

partition). Specify 01h to define one additional partition (the tape

will have two partitions).

Notes:

If you are using the long form and specify 00h for Additional

Partitions Defined, the CTS ignores bytes 08 and 09 of the

Medium Partition Page (Partition Size field).

In the MODE SENSE data, the Additional Partitions Defined byte

indicates the number of partitions defined on the currently loaded

tape in addition to the original partition (the entire tape).

Byte 04, Bit 7 - FDP (Fixed Data Partitions)

The FDP bit tells the EXB-8505 to format the tape based on its “fixed”

definition of partitions. The fixed definition is a single partition

encompassing the entire tape. The values for FDP are as follows:

0 – Do not format the tape. (A value of 0 is always returned in the

MODE SENSE data.)

1 – Format the tape with a single partition encompassing the entire

tape.

Note: If Additional Partitions Defined (byte 03) is 01h, FDP must

be 0.

Byte 04, Bit 6 - SDP (Select Data Partitions)

The SDP bit tells the EXB-8505 to format the first partition on the tape

based on a predefined size. This size is “hard coded” in the EXB-8505

as 15 MBytes and cannot be changed. The values for SDP are as

follows:

0 – Do not format the tape. (A value of 0 is always returned in the

MODE SENSE data.)

1 – If Additional Partitions Defined is 01h, format the tape with two

partitions and set the size of the first partition to 15 MBytes. (The

EXB-8505 ignores the partition size specified in the Partition Size

field.) If Additional Partitions Defined is 00h, format the tape with

a single partition encompassing the entire tape.
