Description: External Tape Drive Firmware Subtype.
This is used to differentiate the firmware versions which have the same tape drive type (as specified by cpqFcTapeDriveType). Tape drives will contain a value of 1 for this variable when they first ship, and this value will be incremented if future versions are shipped which are not firmware compatible with the predecessor. If the tape drive does not support this capability, a value of 0 will be returned.
What is cpqFcTapeDriveFWSubtype?
This integer differentiates firmware versions that share the same tape drive type, starting at 1 when a drive first ships and incrementing whenever a later firmware-incompatible version is released. An admin uses this alongside cpqFcTapeDriveType to know precisely which firmware generation of a given drive model is installed, since drives of the same type but different subtypes may not be firmware-cross-compatible. For example, a subtype value of 2 versus 1 on otherwise identical drive-type entries tells the admin those two drives cannot necessarily share the same firmware update file.
