WORM Support 2
The Scalar i2000 library supports WORM (write once, read many)
technology in LTO-3 and LTO-4 tape drives. WORM requirements
include:
• Cartridges
• Firmware
• WORM-supported LTO-3 tape drives
• WORM-supported LTO-4 tape drives
WORM allows non-erasable data to be written once and provides extra
data security by prohibiting accidental data erasure. When the library
firmware and WORM-supported LTO-3 and LTO- 4 tape drive code are
installed on a library with LTO-3 and LTO-4 tape drives, the WORM
feature is supported whenever the operator uses WORM cartridges.
