The number of load and unload operations the drive
has performed over the life of the drive. Load/Unloads
An assessment of whether the cartridge load/unload
life remaining is within specification followed by an
estimate of the remaining load/unload life. Load/Unload Life
Based on the number of load/unload cycles compared
with HP recommendation. If a life warning is shown,
the cartridge should be retired at the next maintenance
period. HP recommends HP media for increased
load/unload life.
An estimate of the percentage or remaining load/unload
life of the cartridge based on the number of
loads/unloads compared with HP recommendation.
When this figure reaches 0%, the cartridge should be
retired.
An assessment of whether the cartridge read/write life
remaining is within specification followed by an estimate
of the remaining cartridge read/write life. Read/Write Life
Based on the amount of tape pulled over drive heads
compared with HP recommended tape life (normally
expressed in terms of 'full volume equivalents' which is
the volume of data needed to completely fill a tape). If
a life warning is shown, the cartridge should be retired
at the next maintenance period. HP recommends HP
media for increased load/unload life.
