INCITS 516-2013

This standard defines the command set extensions to facilitate operation of the sequential-access device type.

This standard, implemented in conjunction with the requirements of the SCSI Architecture Model – 4 standard and the applicable clauses of the SCSI Primary Commands – 4 standard, fully specifies the standard command set for the sequential-access device type.

The objectives of this standard are to provide the following:

• permit an application client to communicate over a SCSI service delivery subsystem, with a logical unit that declares itself to be a sequential-access device in the PERIPHERAL DEVICE TYPE field of the standard INQURY data (see SPC-4);
• define commands unique to the sequential-access device type; and
• define commands to manage the operation of the sequential-access device type.
