REWIND 01h
R EWIND causes the drive to write all buffered logical objects to tape and then positions the tape at
BOM (beginning of media). Once a rewind is started, it will complete even if the SCSI operation is
aborted (for example, if the host selects and sends an abort message).
Pre-execution checks:
Command descriptor block:
CDB fields:
Rewind specific status:
If the rewind is successful, unsolicited positional sense will indicate that the tape is at BOM by the
EOD bit being set and an additional sense code of 0004h (BOP).

1 The drive first writes any unwritten buffered data to tape. It then returns GOOD status to
the host before beginning the actual rewind operation.
