So, with HP tape and library tools, you get tape drive margins and tape head life remaining given in percentage, you'll see something along the lines of head life remaining 99% or so, if you're lucky anyway.

Is there a way of finding that for IBM LTO drives in their software? I've been trying to go through the logs but can't find anything, any ideas? Thanks.
