MEDIUM SERIAL NUMBER: Identifies the manufacturer’s serial number for the medium.
MEDIUM LENGTH: Specifies the length of the medium in meters. A value of 00h specifies that the
length of the medium is undefined.
MEDIUM WIDTH: Specifies the width of the medium supported by this density. The value is
expressed in units of tenths of millimeters. The value in this field is rounded up if the fractional value
of the actual value is greater than or equal to 0.5. The Medium Width field may vary for a given
density depending on the mounted medium. A value of 00h specifies the width of the tape is
undefined.
ASSIGNING ORGANIZATION: Identifies the organization responsible for the specifications
defining the values in the MEDIUM DENSITY CODE attribute. The Assigning Organization field is
set to “Quantum.”
MEDIUM DENSITY CODE: Contains the actual density of the tape based on the following rules:
1. If the tape has been written, this attribute reports the actual density of the data on the medium.
2. If the host has selected a valid density with a MODE SELECT command, this attribute reports the
selected density.
3. If neither 1 nor 2 is true, this field reports the native density that can be written on this tape.
MEDIUM MANUFACTURE DATE: Identifies the date of manufacture of the medium. The format
is YYYYMMDD; that is, 4 numeric ASCII characters for the year followed by 2 numeric ASCII
characters for the month followed by 2 numeric ASCII characters for the day with no intervening
spaces.
MAM CAPACITY: The total capacity of the medium auxiliary memory, in bytes, at manufacture
time. It does not indicate the free space of an unused medium auxiliary memory because some of the
medium auxiliary memory space may be reserved for device-specific use making it inaccessible to the
application client.
MEDIUM TYPE
AND MEDIUM TYPE INFORMATION: Indicates the type of media on which
the MAM chip resides. At this time, Super DLTtape media only supports the Data Medium type. The
