about this command, refer to the IBM Ultrium Tape Drive SCSI
Reference.
WORM (Write Once, Read Many) Cartridge
Certain records retention and data security applications require a Write
Once, Read Many (WORM) method for storing data on tape. The LTO
Ultrium 4 and later drives enable WORM support when a WORM tape
cartridge is loaded into the drive.
Worm Media
Because standard read/write media are incompatible with the WORM
feature, a specially formatted WORM tape cartridge (see
page 69) is required. Each WORM cartridge has a unique, worldwide
cartridge identifier (WWCID), which comprises the unique CM chip serial
number and the unique tape media serial number.

Data Security on WORM
Media
Certain built-in security measures help ensure that the data written on a
WORM cartridge does not become compromised, for example:
• The format of a WORM Tape Cartridge is unlike that of standard
read/write media. This unique format prevents a drive that lacks
WORM-capable firmware from writing on a WORM tape cartridge.
