Command Description
Logical Unit
Number The library has a single Logical Unit Number (LUN). The library always appears as LUN
0. If the LUN is specified in the IDENTIFY message, the LUN field in the CDB is ignored
by the library.
Reserved The word Reserved or Rsvd refers to a field defined by the SCSI standard as 0. The
library checks the field for 0. If the field is not 0, the library returns Check Condition
status with a sense key of Illegal Request.
Control Byte The vendor unique portion of the Control Byte is defined in the specific command.
Not
Implemented This description indicates that the field is a SCSI standard but is not supported by the
library.
