commands to and from the server, and to which the internal SCSI cable of
an enclosure connects.

In response to inquiry from the server about an error condition, a packet of
SCSI sense bytes that contains information about the error and that is sent
back to the server by the drive.
SCSI log sense data.
In response to inquiry from the server about the tape drive's error logs and

Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI).
A standard used by computer manufacturers for attaching peripheral
devices (such as tape drives, hard disks, CD-ROM players, printers, and
scanners) to computers (servers). Pronounced "scuzzy." Variations of the
SCSI interface provide for faster data transmission rates than standard
serial and parallel ports (up to 160 megabytes per second). The variations
include:
v
Fast/Wide SCSI: Uses a 16-bit bus, and supports data rates of up to 20
MBps.
v SCSI-1: Uses an 8-bit bus, and supports data rates of 4 MBps.
