RITE (WORM) C APABILITY VERVIEW Certain records retention and data security applications require a Write Once, Read Many (WORM) method for storing data on tape. To meet this data storage requirement, a new WORM feature is now available on the Magnum 224, StorageLibrary T24, or StorageLoader 2U LTO when you have an LTO-3 or LTO-4 tape drive installed.
Refer to the program’s online help for instructions on determining the tape drive(s) firmware level. If your LTO-3 tape drive has an earlier version of firmware, you can download the updated firmware by visiting the download page on the Tandberg Data web site at www.tandbergdata.com. Note: Refer to “FTP—Library Firmware Upgrade and Diagnostics”...
C—W (WORM) C PPENDIX RITE APABILITY RROR ODES Tape drive errors associated with the new WORM capability result in either a Medium Error (Sense Key 3h) or a Data Protect error (Sense Key 7h). The tape drive returns this error information in response to a SCSI REQUEST SENSE command.
