12.53 Test Unit Ready command
The Test Unit Ready command provides a means to verify the logical unit is ready. This is not a request for a
self test. If the logical unit (drive) can accept an appropriate medium access command without returning Check
Condition status, the drive returns a Good status.
If the drive cannot become operational or is in a state such that an initiator action (e.g., Start command) is
required to make the unit ready, the drive returns Check Condition status with a sense key of Not Ready. One
of several possible additional sense codes indicates the reason for the Not Ready condition.
