LTO Ultrium Cleaning Cartridge Q & A
FAQ Which type of LTO Ultrium Cleaning Cartridge is compatible with my drive? What is the life of an LTO Ultrium Cleaning Cartridge; how many drive-cleans? Answer IBM, Seagate and HP manufactured LTO-Ultrium drives that use different Cleaning Cartridges, Fujifilm Type I, S and H respectively. Additionally, Fujifilm introduced a Universal Cleaning Cartridge, which is compatible all manufacturers LTO Ultrium drives, in May of 2002. How many times the drive will allow a cleaning cartridge to be used depends upon the drive; the drive sets the Maximum Uses Limit, not the Cleaning Cartridge. Each Cleaning Cartridge has an RF (Radio Frequency) LTO-CM (Cartridge Memory); the drive will communicate with this memory and enters the cleaning mode if the Cleaning Cartridge is compatible. If the CM shows the Cleaning Cartridge is identified as an incompatible type, it will not be used and the drive reports "Invalid Cleaning Media" (e.g., if a Type-I or Type-H were inserted into a Seagate Drive which uses Type-S). The drives use the CM to keep track of the number of times the Cleaning Cartridge has been used. When a drive sees that a Cleaning Cartridge has already been used the maximum number of times (as determined by the drive's firmware) it will no longer use that Cleaning Cartridge and the drive will report "Expired Cleaning Media." The table shows the maximum number of times the drive allows the cleaning cartridge to be used before reporting that the cartridge is expired (for current drives/firmware).

LTO Ultrium Drive Cleaning Cartridge Troubleshooting FAQ
Question The new LTO Universal Cleaning Cartridge (UCC) goes into the drive and immediately ejects without performing a cleaning cycle. Why isnt the UCC working in my Ultrium drive? Specific revisions of the drives firmware are needed for proper operation. The LTO Universal Cleaning Cartridge (UCC) began shipping in May 2002. The UCC is compatible with all Ultrium drives; however, existing older drive units will require a firmware upgrade to use the UCC. Please contact your drive manufacturer or system vendor for firmware upgrade information. Another possibility is that you have already used the cleaning cartridge its maximum number of times and it is expired. For other explanations for a UCC and/or Drive-Specific Cleaning Cartridge that immediately ejects without performing a cleaning cycle see last Q/A at bottom of page. Question Answer How many drive cleanings can I get from my LTO Cleaning Cartridge? The number of drive-cleaning uses for an LTO Cleaning Tape is dependent on the drive manufacturer/model. Please see the specifications in your drive manual or contact your drive manufacturer or system vendor for the number of cleanings allowed before the cleaning cartridge is expired. Some current information is listed in the above chart, on page one. The Universal Cleaning Cartridge (UCC), which became available in May 2002, is compatible with all Ultrium drives. However, the number of clean uses still varies by drive model. Keep track of the number of times used and discard a cleaning cartridge when it has reached the maximum number of uses for your drive model. Question I am certain that Im using the correct cleaning cartridge for my Drive Model and Firmware Level and still the cleaning cartridge goes into the drive and immediately ejects without performing a cleaning cycle. Why? Some drive models DO NOT allow cleaning unless the drive is requesting a cleaning cartridge. If you insert a cleaning cartridge when the drive does not need to be cleaned, the drive will automatically eject the cleaning cartridge. Other drive models do allow periodic cleaning, but NOT when the drive has been cleaned too recently (the drive is preventing excessive cleaning, which can cause wear on drive heads). If the drive is not requesting to be cleaned and you insert a cleaning cartridge too soon after the last cleaning, the drive will automatically eject the cleaning cartridge. Of course, all drive models automatically eject an expired cleaning cartridge without performing a cleaning cycle. Discard the cleaning cartridge when it has reached the maximum number of uses for your drive model.

Product Highlights
LTO Ultrium Technology Linear Tape-Open technology was developed by three leaders in the storage industry - HP, IBM, and Quantum - who brought together their combined expertise in tape technology to develop an entirely new format based on the best of existing technologies. Because LTO Ultrium technology was a new format, it required no cumbersome support of legacy formats, so it could be designed without compromising on reliability or performance. The LTO Program, a consortium of the three technology provider companies, has developed a well-defined six-generation roadmap. Ultrium LTO-2 tape drive technologies from HP use a linear format of 384 tracks and 512 tracks (respectively), writing eight tracks simultaneously. Ultrium LTO-3, LTO-4 and the new LTO-5 tape drive features a breakthrough in recording technology by writing sixteen tracks simultaneously on a linear format of 704 tracks, 896 tracks and 1280 tracks (respectively). The data is written in a serpentine pattern; the tape reverses direction after each set of tracks is written. This provides higher density recording, enabling customers to lower costs and increase efficiency by storing more data on a single tape in an industry standard format. The LTO standard for backward compatibility is to write back one generation and read back two generations; therefore: First-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 230, HP Ultrium 232) read and write LTO 1 media Second-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 460, HP Ultrium 448) read and write LTO 1 and LTO 2 media. Third-generation LTO Ultrium drives (HP Ultrium 920, Ultrium 960) read and write LTO 2 and LTO 3 media and also read LTO 1 media. Fourth-generation LTO Ultrium drives (Ultrium 1840, Ultrium 1760) read and write LTO 3 and LTO 4 media and also read LTO 2 media. Fifth-generation LTO Ultrium drives (Ultrium 3280, Ultrium 3000) read and write LTO 4 and LTO 5 media and also read LTO 3 media. As part of the LTO open standard, all HP tape drives and media offer the same standards of compatibility with tape drives and media manufactured by other LTO vendors. LTO data compression (LTO-DC) is an enhanced version of Advanced Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) hardware compression. Compression is automatically turned off if the compressed data would cause an overall expansion in data size, hence optimizing the available capacity on the media. Data compression is also turned off if data is found to be uncompressible; thus, allowing for better data scans. The system is used in all Ultrium tape drives. The decision about which tape technology you should buy next should be based on your future, not your past, investment. Choose the Ultrium format when you need the following advantages: Maximum reliability, capacity and performance Compatibility with a broad range of operating systems and servers (e.g., a mixed system environment) A legacy-free technology that uses the best attributes from a wide range of tape technologies without any compromises for backward compatibility requirements A solid roadmap for future generations of the technology An open format available from multiple vendors Lowest media cost of any 'superdrive' tape technology

Hardware Based Encryption
HP LTO-4 and 5 Ultrium tape drives support hardware-based encryption to enable greater levels of security: AES 256-bit Encryption Easy-to-enable encryption for a secure backup Helps prevent unauthorized accessed of tape media if cartridges are lost or stolen Eliminates the need to purchase and manage additional h/w No loss in performance of backup The included HP Data Protector Express Basic backup and recovery software supports LTO-4 and LTO-5 encryption and makes writing encrypted backups simple. A passphrase is entered and Data Protector Express Basic creates and manages the encryption key. For more information visit: http://www.hp.com/go/encryption

TapeAssure

HP StorageWorks TapeAssure makes managing, optimizing and archiving on the HP LTO Ultrium tape drives easier. This tool provides additional management and monitoring capabilities including: Life and health information for media and drives Information on media and drive utilization and operational performance Notifications of drive and media characteristics that fall below HP recommended standards TapeAssure health reports and alerts give you peace of mind knowing the condition of the drives, the tapes and the data on each tape. TapeAssure monitors every backup to ensure the highest standards of reliability, sends alerts when these standards are not met, and ensures that you can maintain the drives and tapes used in an archive environment to have the highest integrity. TapeAssure builds a database of drive and tape history information that you can export as.CSV (comma-separated-value) files and import into Excel or other tools to create pivot-charts, pie charts and bar charts for graphical presentation or further analysis. This data can be automatically exported on a schedule or on demand and written to a local or network drive where analysis scripts can also be run. Instructions and downloads of HP TapeAssure are available at: http://www.hp.com/go/TapeAssure
Linear Tape File System (LTFS)
HP LTFS makes tape self-describing, file-based, and easy-to-use, it also provides users with the ability to use standard file operations on tape media for accessing, managing and sharing files with an interface that behaves just like a hard disk. In addition, LTFS provides the ability to share data across platforms, as you would with a USB drive or memory stick. Simply load a tape into the drive, mount it into the file system, and it becomes visible as a disk.

Data Rate Matching
Data Rate Matching combines sophisticated buffer management with HP's exclusive Variable Adaptive Tape Speed technology to allow the tape drive to match its transfer rate to the host speed dynamically and continuously across the wide range of transfer rates. This feature ensures that the tape drive continues to stream data regardless of the environment, and brings two big advantages: It optimizes backup performance, regardless of the speed of the host or the network It minimizes rewinding and repositioning of the tape, reducing wear and increasing reliability
WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) Drive and Media Support
Critical to the success of data retention policies in highly regulated environments is the ability to store and manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies that can verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years. LTO-3, 4 and 5 tape drives feature the ability to archive and store data in a non-rewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a combination of integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape formatting, LTO Ultrium drives can archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure, untampered state. Since all LTO-3, 4 and 5 tape drives include support for both rewritable and WORM media, IT organizations can now easily integrate a secure, long-term archiving solution into their current data protection strategy. As compared to other technologies that feature support for WORM storage, LTO-3, 4 and 5 offers the advantages of: A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM data cartridges A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to prevent accidental or intentional overwriting of data High-capacity, low-cost HP WORM media that can store 800GB (LTO-3), 1.6TB (LTO-4) or 3TB (LTO-5) of data on a single data cartridge Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most comprehensive and mainstream support in the industry The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all third-generation Ultrium products NOTE: While all HP LTO-3, 4 and 5 tape drives support LTO Ultrium WORM media, some thirdgeneration LTO Ultrium tape drives from other manufacturers may not include read and write support for LTO Ultrium WORM media. For non-HP LTO-3 and LTO-4 tape drives, please check the manufacturers' specifications to ensure this support is provided if you are using your WORM media. If WORM support is not provided, the drive will eject the WORM tape cartridge immediately upon insertion into to the tape drive.
