Migrating LTO Media

Known issues for media migration from one manufacturer to another are

fixed through the drive firmware. Use the latest available firmware for the

drive, regardless of which vendor/OEM product is being used to create media.

This ensures optimal performance for migrating tape between different drive

vendors.

NOTE:

LTO technology is built on an open standard. Migrating media from one

drive manufacturer to another is fully supported.

NOTE:

For information on backward read/write compatibility of the systems, see

Table 5.

WORM Media

WORM media stands for Write Once, Read Many. This means once data is

written to a piece of WORM media, the data on the tape cannot be changed

or overwritten. WORM media can be appended to if data is already present

on the tape. The media also stores unique identifiers which allow the drive to

determine whether or not the media has been tampered with.

WORM media offers a method of data retention for compliance laws such as

the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Specific WORM media barcode labels end

in LT.

Cleaning Media

NOTE:

LTO drives in general do not require frequent cleaning.

Label Designations on LTO Cleaning Media

For the last several years, LTO drives have been using UCC (universal

cleaning cartridges) as cleaning tapes. Prior to the universal or for use with all

designation of cleaning media, vendor specific cleaning media was used. This

document provides information on only universal or for use with all cleaning

media. If a tape is not labeled universal or for use with all, then it is

recommended that you purchase a tape with that designation.

NOTE:

LTO-1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 all use the same cleaning media although it may not be

labeled as such depending on the vintage of the tape.
