3.6.5 Emulation Emulation mode Drive emulation 3.6.6 IBM Spectrum Archive and LTFS support  This topic describes emulation mode and drive emulation regarding the TS1155 and TS1150  tape drive. The TS1155 and TS1150 does not support any emulation modes. Because the drive cannot  write the TS1120 or J1A logical format, it cannot fully emulate all format behaviors of a  previous model 3592 drive. The TS1155 and the TS1150 tape drive do not support emulation. The TS1155 can read and  write in J5A and J5 format with compatible IBM 3592 tape cartridges. The TS1150 can read  and write in J5 and J4 format with compatible IBM 3592 tape cartridges. The TS1155 tape drive can reformat any compatible J5 tape when it is writing from BOT and  the TS1150 can reformat any J4 format tape. Table 3-14 lists the available modes for TS1150  and TS155. Table 3-14 Drive emulation for TS1150 Tape as a storage medium has many benefits: It is reliable, portable, low-cost, low-power, and  high-capacity. However, tape is not easy to use because it has no standard format and data  often cannot be used without first copying it to a disk.  IBM Spectrum Archive enables direct, intuitive, and graphical access to data stored in IBM  tape drives and libraries by incorporating the LTFS format standard for reading, writing, and  exchanging descriptive metadata on formatted tape cartridges. IBM Spectrum Archive  eliminates the need for additional tape management and software to access data. IBM  Spectrum Archive offers three software solutions for managing your digital files with the LTFS  format: Single Drive Edition, Library Edition, and Enterprise Edition.
