REWIND 01h
REWIND 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).

the host before beginning the actual rewind operation.
