Hi All

In the past there have been several discussions about reading the tape
usage data on the LTO cartridge chips.  These have revolved around the IBM
tapeutil utility, and so only apply where IBM drivers are in use.

I have Sun L700 libraries and ACSLS V7.  According to the ACSLS doc, it
can track usage data for Sun drive types, but does not for LTO.

Has anyone discovered a way to do this?  I would like to inventory my
tapes and discard any that are approaching end-of-life.  I am using
Solaris, both sparc and X86 servers to access the libraries.

Thanks

Steve
