5.1.5 Unit Attention Condition
Queued Unit Attentions are implemented on the Quantum DLT 8000 tape drive and are
maintained separately for each valid LUN for each initiator. Unit Attentions are created
in each of the following circumstances:
• At Power On
• At Bus Reset
• At Bus Device Reset message
• When the medium may have changed asynchronously
• When another initiator changes the Mode Parameters
• When a firmware (microcode) update has completed
Two queued Unit Attentions are not unusual. For example, if a unit is powered up and a
tape cartridge is loaded, Power Up and Not-Ready to Ready Transition Unit Attentions
are created. Due to the limited number of Unit Attention buffers, if an initiator does not
clear Unit Attentions queued for it, at some point the tape drive stops generating new
Unit Attentions for that initiator-logical unit combination (existing ones will be left
queued, however).
A LOAD command does not generate a Unit Attention for the initiator that issued the
command since the transition to Ready is synchronous.
