ielem - initialize element status
SYNOPSIS
ielem [ -a b.t.l ] [ -r eladdr.nel ]
DESCRIPTION
The ielem program sends an INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command to the
named device.
Some changers support the ability to initialize element status for a
range of elements. The command used for this is the Vendor Unique
EXABYTE changer command:
INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS (with range)
(command opcode 0xE7).
OPTIONS-a b.t.l
Selects a specific ordinal SCSI address, where b is the logical
SCSI bus, t is the SCSI target, and l is the SCSI logical unit
number (LUN) on that target. See libscsi(8). This is a required
option.
-r eladdr.nel
Specifies the range of elements, where eladdr is the starting
decimal address (in the autochanger's numbering) of the element
to start from, and nel is the number of status elements to read.
This option can be used if your autochanger supports the Vendor
Unique EXABYTE autochanger INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command.
