Support for WORM
36
The Scalar i6000 library supports WORM (write once, read many)
technology in LTO-3, LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6 and LTO-7 tape drives. WORM
requirements include:
• Cartridges
• Firmware
• WORM-supported LTO-3 tape drives
• WORM-supported LTO-4 tape drives
• WORM-supported LTO-5 tape drives
• WORM-supported LTO-6 tape drives
• WORM-supported LTO-7 tape drives
WORM allows non-erasable data to be written once and provides extra
data security by prohibiting accidental data erasure. When the library
firmware and WORM-supported LTO-3, LTO-4, LTO-5, or LTO-6 tape
drive code are installed on a library with LTO-3, LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6 or
LTO-7 tape drives, the WORM feature is supported whenever the
operator uses WORM cartridges.
