Dismount Media Message

The Dismount Media message notifies the requester that the Dismount Media

command successfully completed or that an error caused the command to fail. With a

Dismount Command, it returns the tape drive position the tape label was moved from

(0-9 bottom to top) and the slot position (address) the tape label was moved to. A -1 (a

255 will be in both bytes) means that no change occurred. For details, see Table D-9.

Export Media Message

The Export Media message notifies the requester that the Export Media command

successfully completed or that an error caused the command to fail. With an Export

command, it returns the CAP position the tape label was moved to (0-13 top to bottom)

and the slot position (address) the tape label was moved from. A -1 (a 255 will be in

both bytes) means that no change occurred. For details, see Table D-10.
