The RW (Rewind) command rewinds and unloads tape units, and unloads CD-ROM drives.
If a unit is in use, the following message is displayed:
UNIT IN USE
Syntax
Explanation
RW CD <unit number list>
You can use the RW CD <unit number list> command to unload CD-ROM drives.
-
The RW CD <unit number list> command only works with CD-ROM drives connected via SCSI channels. It does not work for CD-ROM drives connected via SCSI DLPs.
-
You cannot execute the RW CD <unit number list> command when the CD-ROM drive is in use.
RW MT <unit number list>
The RW MT <unit number list> command rewinds and unloads tape units in the unit number list.
| Note: | For tape devices that cannot unload their media, the drive is left in an unloaded state and must be reloaded in order for the MCP to attempt to read the label of the tape. The drive can be logically loaded with an RY (Ready) command, for example. Or it can be physically loaded by placing the media in the drive manually. |
