Capacity Scaling
To control the capacity of the cartridge (for example, to obtain a faster seek time)
issue the SCSI command SET CAPACITY. For information about this command,
refer to the
IBM TotalStorage 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 generation 3
and 4 drives enable WORM support when a WORM tape cartridge is loaded into
the drive.
Because standard read/write media are incompatible with the WORM feature, a
specially formatted WORM tape cartridge (see Figure D-4) 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.
Type of Cartridge
Case Color
Native Data Capacity
Recording Format*
Ultrium 5 WORM
Burgundy and silver
gray
1500 GB (3000 GB at 2:1
compression)
Reads and writes data on 1280 tracks,
sixteen tracks at a time
Ultrium 4 WORM
Green and silver gray
800 GB (1600 GB at 2:1
compression)
Reads and writes data on 896 tracks,
sixteen tracks at a time.
Ultrium 3 WORM
Slate blue and silver
gray
400 GB (800 GB at 2:1
compression)
Reads and writes data on 704 tracks,
sixteen tracks at a time
* The first set of tracks (sixteen for Ultrium 5, 4 and 3; eight for Ultrium 2 and 1) is written from near the beginning
of the tape to near the end of the tape. The head then repositions to the next set of tracks for the return pass. This
process continues until all tracks are written and the cartridge is full, or until all data is written.
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:
v
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.
v
When the drive senses a WORM cartridge, the firmware prohibits the changing
or altering of user data already written on the tape. The firmware keeps track of
the last appendable point on the tape.
