Supported WORM drives
NetBackup requires a SCSI pass-through driver to use WORM tape drives. NetBackup queries the drive to verify that drive is WORM-capable and that the media in the drive is WORM media. SCSI pass-through paths are provided on the server platforms NetBackup supports. SCSI pass-through paths may require special operating system configuration changes.

For information about the drives that NetBackup supports for WORM media, see the Hardware Compatibility List at the following URL

All of the vendors except Quantum require the use of special WORM media.
Quantum lets NetBackup convert standard tape media to WORM media. To use Quantum drives for WORM media on Solaris systems, modify the st.conf file.
Information is available about how to configure nonstandard tape drives and how to edit the st.conf file.
