Table 13. Compatibility among LTO tape drives and tape cartridges (continued)

Cartridge type

Drive type

LTO 8

LTO 7

LTO 6

LTO 5

Notes:

The drive rejects any command to load unsupported media and returns a sense key of 5 and an extra sense

code/additional sense code qualifier of 30/00.

Un-initialized M8 media and pre-initialized M8 media are both supported with a minimum LTO 8 tape drive

firmware level of HB82 and a minimum library firmware level 1.4.1.2. The usage of M8 media with prior

firmware levels may result in a permanent reduction in the capacity of the M8 media from 9 TB to 6 TB (native).

WORM tapes can be reformatted only if they are initialized and labeled. If data exists on the tape, reformatting

is not allowed.
