Media Type (cont.) 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.
■ T = The element contains a 400 GB Generation 3 LTO WORM cartridge.
■ U = The element contains an 800 GB Generation 4 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:
■ 01h = The transport supports DLT/SDLT form factor cartridges.
■ 4Ch = The transport supports LTO form factor cartridges (4Ch is ‘L’).
■ FFh = The transport domain cannot be determined.
Transport Type If the Transport Domain field is 01h, the value in the Transport Type field
indicates that the drive installed is:
■ 15h = A Quantum SDLT 320 drive
■ 17h = A Quantum SDLT 600 drive
■ 18h = A Quantum DLT S4 drive
■ FFh = The type cannot be determined.
If the Transport Domain field is 4Ch (4Ch is ‘L’), the value in the Transport
Type field indicates that the drive installed is:
■ 33h = An HP Generation 2 LTO drive
■ 34h = An IBM Generation 2 LTO drive
■ 35h = A Quantum Generation 2 LTO drive
■ 36h = An HP Generation 3 LTO drive.
■ 37h = An IBM Generation 3 LTO drive.
■ 38h = A Quantum Generation 3 LTO drive.
■ 39h = An HP Generation 4 LTO drive.
■ 3Ah = An IBM Generation 4 LTO drive
■ FFh = The type cannot be determined.
Transport Serial Number Thirty-two ASCII characters represent the unique transport serial number.
For tape drives with less than 32 bytes of ASCII serial number data, the value
is left-justified and the unused LSB bytes contain ASCII blanks.
If the serial number is not available from a tape drive that should support an
ASCII serial number, ASCII blanks are returned.
Left justification in this 32-byte field provides space for serial numbers of
varying lengths.
