Erase
8.1.
Command Description
When using SLRtape140 to SLRtape7 or SLR32, media the
ERASE command causes the Drive to erase one entire
partition at the time. The partition can either be
erased logically or it can be physically overwritten
(depending on the state of the LONG bit). When finished
the tape will be positioned at BOP of the current
partition. The ERASE command is only accepted if the
tape is positioned at BOP of any partition.
The Drive will disconnect during execution of the ERASE
command if disconnection is allowed.
None of the drives covered by this manual has the
ability to write on older tapes. Therefore no erase can
be performed on SLR5 or DC9250 media.

IMM
An Immediate bit (IMM) of zero indicates that the Drive
will not return status until the erase operation has
completed. An IMM bit of one indicates that the Drive
will return status as soon as the execution of all
previous commands has been completed and the Command
Descriptor Block of the ERASE command has been
validated. If CHECK CONDITION status is returned for the
ERASE command with an IMM bit of one, the erase
operation is not performed.
