Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: Tape Physical Drive Firmware Subtype.
This is used to differentiate the firmware versions which have the same tape drive type (as specified by cpqTapePhyDrvType). 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 cpqTapePhyDrvFwSubtype?
This integer differentiates firmware versions sharing the same tape drive type as given by cpqTapePhyDrvType, starting at 1 when the drive first ships and incrementing when a firmware-incompatible version is released, or 0 if unsupported. Admins use it to detect a firmware generation break that a simple version-number comparison might miss. For example, two drives with the same tape drive type but differing fwSubtype values may not be running mutually compatible firmware.
