•
Data on tape – covers how much extra tape was used to write high quality data to tape. If
there are issues with the write, more tape is used and that is shown here. If HP-branded tape
is used, this can be further expanded to show the margin by wrap. A wrap is a single pass
of the tape from beginning to end. A full tape volume will require 64 (depending on drive
generation) wraps. A text ‘graph’ is shown for each wrap with more detail on the margin
value.
•
Drive measurements – gives the view of up to the last three drives that the tape was loaded
in on the write and read margin for that tape.
•
Life measurements – for the tape. Not to be confused with the life measurements for the drive.
Tape (usage) life is considerably shorter than drive life.
Cartridge configuration
The Cartridge Configuration section shows how the tape is configured.
