LTO Media Handbook 13
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.
