How to initialize WORM tapes

kfaure
over 6 years ago

Hello,

I was using NetVault with rewritable tapes, and I had no problems.

Since I installed WORM tapes in the library, I can not do anything.

When I analyze the tapes, they remain locked in the DRIVE with the activity: "Verifying Header" during many days.

I can not unload DRIVE, I need to restart the library and the robot to manually unload the tapes...

I may have forgotten something in the setup to use WORM?

If someone has an idea? 

thank you very much

Best regards.

Kevin

    Hi

    I see no one has replied to this yet. Apologies for the wait. Has anyone helped you to answer this yet, perhaps via Service Request?

    Just for reference, I did find this KB Article, it is a bit dated, but seems to indicate that WORM media cannot be used generally, but in addition, there may be only specific vendors that we support using WORM media with, but only as Read Only Media.

    Alot of the media I have looked into that we support is much older, such as AIT tapes and such. Below is the KB I was mentioning.
