    摘要: Various embodiments for writing received synchronized data to magnetic tape having a plurality of wraps using a magnetic tape drive adapted for performing the writing according to an available plurality of predefined tape speeds are provided. In one such embodiment, for each of the available plurality of predefined tape speeds, an average overhead per synchronized command for performing a recursively accumulated backhitchless flush (RABF) cycle is calculated. One of the available plurality of predefined tape speeds having a lowest calculated average overhead is selected. The RABF cycle is performed using the selected one of the available plurality of predefined tape speeds.

    摘要: A method to transfer information between data storage devices. The method provides an information storage assembly comprising a frame, a memory device disposed on that frame, information written to that memory device, a power supply removeably attached to the frame, and a first data storage device comprising a first identity removeably attached the frame. The method writes first configuration information to the memory device. If the method detects an error in the first data storage device, then the method removes the first data storage device from the frame. The method further provides a replacement data storage device, removeably attaches that replacement data storage device to the frame, and determines if the replacement device uses the first configuration information. If the replacement device uses the first configuration information, then the method provides the first configuration information to the replacement data storage device from the memory device.

    摘要: A system, a method, and article of manufacture are employed to clean the input/output transducers on tape drives, verified by the tape drives reading alphanumeric information from data tracks and servo tracks of a cleaner tape. An aggressive cleaning frontcoat section of the cleaner tape can be used to provide additional cleaning action, and the cleanliness of the data read elements, data write elements, and the servo heads. A less-abrasive cleaning section may be used to clean less difficult types of contaminants. In this manner, the cleanliness of the data read elements, the data write elements, and the servo heads can be verified. A cleaning section may also be used as a leader section of a self-characterization section. Alternatively, a magnetic data tape section may be included for self-characterization.
