Command to determine Tape Drive model and make
Hi,

We have some IBM LTO tape drives connect over SAN.
I have the following questions :-

1) Command that can list the tape drive details like who is manufacturer, model number, make etc etc

2) I would like to know what are the key differences between IBM LTO Generation 1 and Generation 2 tape drives ?

Thanks in advance.

iostat -E will probably give you what you need.

Speed and capacity are the differences, if you want more detail than that I suggest you try google.

Guys..
Looks like you have not understood my questions.

If I have to get the details of the drive model and other details
iostat shows the system io statistics..
