For read and write operations, the size of one buffer of data transferred during a single SCSI read or write command is determined by the product of the Block Size value and the Blocking Factor value. The number of these buffers transferred is determined by Multiplier value. The actual total number of bytes transferred is then (Block Size) x (Blocking Factor) x (Multiplier). If the device is set to fixed block mode (block size not equal to zero), the product of Block Size and Blocking Factor must be a multiple of the device block size setting. 2. For further information on the Get Parameter (gpa) and Set Parameter (spa) operations, refer to the STIOC_GET_PARM and STIOC_SET_PARM ioctl commands in the IBM Tape Device Drivers Programming Reference, GA32-0566. 3. All media types for the 3590 tape drive support capacity scaling. Capacity scaling is only supported for the standard 300 GB re-writable Data Cartridge for the 3592 tape drive. Attempting to set capacity scaling that is not supported by a device or the current media loaded returns a failure. 4. If the current microcode on a tape drive is FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) code, then a window opens and displays the following: Appendix D. Tape Utility Programs 381
