Identifier Type The Identifier Type field indicates the format and assignment authority for the
identifier:
0h = No assignment authority was used, and consequently there is no guarantee
that the identifier is globally unique. In other words, the identifier is vendor
specific.
Identifier Length This field indicates the length of the Identifier field. Note: That the combined
length of the Identifier field and the Identifier Pad is 32 bytes.
Identifier This field contains the ASCII Serial Number for the tape drive associated with this
data transfer element.
Identifier Pad This field contains ASCII blanks. The number of blanks depends on the length of
the Identifier field. Note that the combined length of the Identifier field and the
Identifier Pad is 32 bytes.
Media Domain The Media Domain field along with the Media Type field provides a hierarchy of
information that indicates the type of media in the element:
43h = The element contains an LTO (or future) cleaning form factor
cartridge (43h is ‘C’).
4Ch = The element contains an LTO form factor cartridge (4Ch is ‘L’).
FFh = The media domain cannot be determined.
This field is not valid if the Full bit is not set.
Media Type The Media Type field, along with the Media Domain field, provides a hierarchy of
information that indicates the type of media in the element.
If the Media Domain field is 43h (43h is ‘C’), the value reported for the Media Type
field identifies in ASCII the type of LTO cleaning cartridge:
1 = The element contains an HP Generation 1 LTO cleaning cartridge.
2 = The element contains an IBM Generation 1 LTO cleaning cartridge.
3 = The element contains a Quantum Generation 1 LTO cleaning cartridge.
U = The element contains a Universal LTO cleaning cartridge.
FFh = The media type cannot be determined.
This field is not valid if the Full bit is not set.
If the Media Domain field is 4Ch (4Ch is ‘L’), the value reported for the Media Type
field identifies in ASCII the type of LTO cartridge:
1 = The element contains a 100 GB Generation 1 LTO cartridge.
2 = The element contains a 200 GB Generation 2 LTO cartridge.
3 = The element contains a 400 GB Generation 3 LTO cartridge.
4 = The element contains an 800 GB Generation 4 LTO cartridge.
5 = The element contains a 1500 GB Generation 5 LTO cartridge.
6 = The element contains a 2500 GB Generation 6 LTO cartridge.
7 = The element contains a 6000 GB Generation 7 LTO cartridge.
T = The element contains a 400 GB Generation 3 LTO WORM cartridge.
U = The element contains an 800 GB Generation 4 LTO WORM cartridge.
V = The element contains a 1500 GB Generation 5 LTO WORM cartridge.
W = The element contains a 2500 GB Generation 6 LTO WORM cartridge.
X = The element contains a 6000 GB Generation 7 LTO WORM cartridge.
FFh = The media type cannot be determined.
This field is not valid if the Full bit is not set.
Transport Domain The Transport Domain field with the Transport Type field provide a hierarchy of
information that indicates the type of data transfer element installed:
4Ch = The transport supports LTO form factor cartridges (4Ch is ‘L’).
FFh = The transport domain cannot be determined.
