Mark,
Do you know how to access the info on the chip? I've seen the few
comments in sales lit/manuals that have a couple of sentences but
no info on how to access. It's supposed to have for one thing
the total/partial stats for the life of the tape. I assumed the
library or
drive was updating that info. Any way to access with tapeutil or
3584 library Storwatch?
Thanks,
David Longo

Nope. Per Tivoli, no one there has written anything to take advantage
of the
chip inbedded in each LTO tape.
AFAIK, no one at IBM has done likewise.
Volume labels are written at the beginning of each tape. (I think)
there is
a reserved area at the beginning at each tape for such information to
be
written.
