WRITE ATTRIBUTE Command (8Dh) 4
The WRITE ATTRIBUTE command allows an application client to write
attributes to Enhanced Medium Auxiliary Memory (EMAM). The
WRITE
ATTRIBUTE
command is the functional counterpart of the READ
ATTRIBUTE
command. Application clients issue READ ATTRIBUTE
commands before using this command to discover DLT-S4 tape drive
support for EMAM features.
