setting enabled, which is the case by default, a host is
prevented from executing invalid media moves across differing media
types. For example, a host can be prevented from moving LTO-2 media
to an LTO-1 drive. If an invalid move is attempted, the library returns an
error to the host.
Regardless of whether or not partition media policies are enabled or
