## Class Properties

### Local Class Properties

Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers
--- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
IsBasedOnDisk | boolean | false
Description | string | Boolean set to trueif the tape object represented by this instance is realized using disk storage as in the case of a Virtual Tape Library. This property is set to false if this instance is a real physical tape as in the case of a physical tape library.
OtherUsageDescription | string |
Description | string | Populated when "Usage" has the value of "Other".
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_PhysicalTape.Usage
TapeLength | real32 |
Description | string | The physical length of the Tape in feet.
PUnit | string | foot
Units | string | Feet
UnloadAnywhere | boolean |
Description | string | Boolean set to TRUE if the Tape can be unloaded at any position on the Media. It is set to FALSE if the tape must be at a certain position for unload - such as at the beginning of tape (BOT) area, or at mid-tape point for TapeDrives with mid-tape load.
Usage | uint16 |
Description | string | Indicates the intended usage or any restrictions that may have been imposed on the usage of this component. For example, a tape element may be reserved for use by the copy service. In that case, the Usage of the element is marked as "Reserved for Copy Services". In the case of "Other", see OtherUsageDescription for more information.
