A.7 Overwriting 320-Formatted Super
DLTtape I Data Cartridges
This section describes what happens when a 320-formatted cartridge is inserted
into a 220 drive and the drive is “instructed” to overwrite the cartridge with a 220
format. A scenario like this might be possible in a tape automation library, where
tapes are being drawn from a large “pool,” usually with minimal human
interaction.

format. A scenario like this might be possible in a tape automation library, where
tapes are being drawn from a large “pool,” usually with minimal human
interaction.
While a 320-formatted cartridge is loading in a 220 drive, the drive reports
02/04/01 (Not Ready, Calibration in Progress) in response to TEST UNIT READY
(TUR) commands until the drive calibrates the tape and transitions to a ready state.
At that time it reports 06/28/00 (Unit Attention, Not Ready to Ready Transition).
Subsequent TUR commands return Good status.
