Unchangeable parameters:

WTRE

WORM Tamper Read Enable. Controls the behavior of the drive when reading WORM

media if it appears that the integrity of the tape has been compromised by tampering.

WTRE has no effect on reads of normal (non-WORM) media.

0

Default:

If no tampering has been detected, data is returned as normal.

If tampering has been detected, no data is returned in response to a READ

command or after the position of tamper. CHECK CONDITION is returned with

sense key of Medium Error and additional sense of 300Dh (WORM medium—

integrity check failed). TapeAlert flag 3Bh (medium error—integrity check failed)

is set. The Error Code field in the Error Usage page will be filled with the ASC/Q

of 300Dh.

1

Data is returned regardless of whether tampering has been detected on the

WORM cartridge. The bit should only be set as a last resort where data recovery

overrides concerns about WORM integrity.
