Definitions

v
BOP
(Beginning
of
Partition)
:
BOP
(Beginning
of
Partition)
is
a
SCSI
term,
which
in
a
single
partition
format
is
the
same
as
beginning
of
tape.
It
means
that
policy
is
determined
on
writes
at
LB
zero.
Appending
to
a
tape
[or
overwriting
at
a
non-zero
LB]
does
not
change
the
policy
already
in
use
for
that
tape.
v
Key
Path
:
This
is
the
avenue
where
key
resolution
is
performed.
This
is
generally
left
to
be
determined
by
method
(and
is
the
same),
but
can
be
set
differently
for
some
hybrid
modes.
v
Density
Reporting
:
This
affects
host
reporting
of
density
and
is
included
to
support
legacy
needs
for
transparency.
The
default
of
not
masking
encrypted
densities
means
that
the
host
can
see
a
different
density
code
for
encrypted
vs
non-encrypted
tapes
(x72
[enc]
as
opposed
to
x52
[non-enc]).
This
feature
masks
this
so
the
drive
reports
the
primary
density
only.
–
Expected
Value
:
Normally
this
is
set
to
the
drive
default
(which
is
to
show
encr
density).
–
Value
of
Reporting
this
Feature
:
If
a
legacy
setup
will
not
work
with
a
new
density
code
being
reported
[for
whatever
software
reason]
this
will
allow
transparent
encryption
to
still
be
used.
