If a DC600A or DC300XLP data cartridge (qic--24 formatted) is attempted to be used in a Viper
2150S for write operations (Backup, Tape Init or Create Boot Tape), the disk alarm “Tape Write
Protected” will be generated even though the tape cartridge is not write protected.
(2)
If a DC6150 data cartridge (qic--150 formatted) is attempted to be used in a Viper 2060S for a “Tape
Load” operation, the disk alarm “Uninitialized Tape in Drive” will be generated even though the tape
cartridge is initialized.
NOTES
1. You can read lower capacity cartridge types other than those specified for a given tape drive. You will
not be able to write to a lower capacity cartridge type other than those specified for a given tape
drive.
In order to read or write to a higher capacity cartridge type other than those specified for a given tape
drive, the cartridge must be initialized on that tape drive first. The capacity and format of the
cartridge type will be that of the highest capacity and corresponding format specified for that tape
drive.
2. A typical ‘Tape Load’ operation with 1000 files (131MB) of data in the tape cartridge takes about 33
minutes.
