Support for WORM
The Scalar i6000 library supports WORM (write once, read many)
technology in LTO-3, LTO-4, and LTO-5 tape drives. WORM
requirements include:
• Cartridges
• Firmware
• WORM-supported LTO-3 tape drives
• WORM-supported LTO-4 tape drives
• WORM-supported LTO-5 tape drives
WORM allows non-erasable data to be written once and provides extra
data security by prohibiting accidental data erasure. When the library
firmware and WORM-supported LTO-3, LTO-4, or LTO-5 tape drive
code are installed on a library with LTO-3, LTO-4, or LTO-5 tape drives,
the WORM feature is supported whenever the operator uses WORM
cartridges.
Tape Drives
Tape drives are enclosed in a universal drive sled. You can hot swap and
hot add all supported drives, regardless of type. The library supports the
following types of tape drives:
• IBM LTO-1 or LTO-2 LVD–SCSI
• IBM LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, or LTO-5 FC Multi-mode
• HP LTO-3, LTO-4, and LTO-5 FC Multi-mode
• Quantum SDLT-320 LVD–SCSI
• Quantum SDLT-600 FC
• Quantum DLT-S4 FC
