Can the volume write pass value be used to track media life?
2003-04-17 00:43:51
Hi,
I have a customer who must prove to a governing agency that they are
adequately tracking media life. They are using AIT-3 media which SONY
says has a lifecycle of 30,000 uses and a shelf life of approximately 30
years. So - in order to comply with their regulations, they must show
that they are tracking the uses. Does the value in the field called
Write Pass Number in the volume record equate to what the manufacturer
considers "uses"? I believe this to mean a complete write pass from
beginning to end of media.
TIA
