SCSI Verify Command (16 Byte)
The SCSI Verify command is a vendor unique command used to perform StorageTek
T10000 Media Validation using the Fibre Channel Interface of the StorageTek T10000C
and T10000D tape drives.
The tape drive will respond with status immediately. This allows the application to
issue Request Sense commands to monitor progress of the media validation. Most
other commands will return busy status while the media validation is running..
