Mode Page X'1E': Transport Geometry Parameters
The transport geometry parameters page defines whether each medium transport element is a member of a set of elements that share a common robotics subsystem and whether the element is capable of medium rotation. One transport geometry descriptor is returned for each medium transport element. Because the tape library has one or two medium transport elements, one or two descriptors are returned.
This mode page is defined as common to all initiators. This mode page is a static page.
There are no changeable parameters in this mode page.
