Mark, Do you know how to access the info on the chip? I've seen the few comments in sales lit/manuals that have a couple of sentences but no info on how to access. It's supposed to have for one thing the total/partial stats for the life of the tape. I assumed the library or drive was updating that info. Any way to access with tapeutil or 3584 library Storwatch?

Per Tivoli, no one there has written anything to take advantage of the chip inbedded in each LTO tape. AFAIK, no one at IBM has done likewise. Volume labels are written at the beginning of each tape. (I think) there is a reserved area at the beginning at each tape for such information to be written. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Certified TSM consultant Certified AIX system engineer MCSE "MMS <health-first.org>" made the following annotations on 09/19/2002 05:01:32 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is for the named person's use only.
