Field descriptions:

Medium Transport Address:

This field specifies the medium transport element used to execute the Move Medium command.

This value can be set to either 0 or the currently valid Medium Transport Element address.

Source Address:

Element address from which the tape cartridge is being moved. This can be a Storage Element

address, Import/Export Element address or a Data Transfer Element address.

Destination Address:

Element address to which the tape cartridge is being moved. This can be a Storage Element

address, Import/Export Element address or a Data Transfer Element address.

Invert:

An Invert bit of one specifies that the medium should be inverted or rotated prior to depositing the

medium into the destination element. The library does not support medium rotation. Therefore this

field must be set to zero.
