Description Length
All the parameters relate to the current tape. They are all cleared when the
tape is unloaded, except Parameter 4, which is never cleared. All data will be
reset when the log page is reset. The parameters are as follows.
Number of tape direction changes per 100 MB written.
Rate at which data is entering the buffer (after data compression), given in units of
100 KB/s. This is the true 'tape' data rate.
Given the compressibility of the data that has been sent to the drive, this is the
maximum data rate that could be achieved, given in units of 100 KB/s. The figure will
be worked out based on the compressibility of each dataset received, datasets which
have a compressibility higher than the compression bandwidth of the drive will be
'capped'.
Rate at which data is being accepted by the drive before compression, given in units of
100 KB/s.
The native rate (that is, without using compression) at which the drive writes data to
tape, given in units of 100 KB/s:
