Configuring and Viewing the Media Security Log
Media removal is detected by the library when it performs an inventory (at boot up; after an open door is closed, etc.). The
media security log lists media that have been removed from the library. You can enable the library to collect information
about media removal, and then view, save, and/or e-mail the log.
You can configure the library to collect any or all of the following information. By default, the library collects nothing and the
log is empty. You must select each item you want the library to collect:
• Unexpected Removal Detection After Power-up and Reboot Only
• Unexpected Removal Detection During Library Operation
• Expected Removal Detection From I/E Slots During Library Operation
Note: Unexpected removal refers to tape cartridges that were removed from the library without being properly
exported via the I/E station.
Expected removal refers to tape cartridges that were exported properly via the I/E station.
The log file contains the following information:
• Date and time of media removal
• Tape cartridge barcode
• Type of removal (expected or unexpected)
• Slot location coordinates (of the slot the cartridge is missing from)
• Slot type (I/E, storage, or cleaning)
When the log file reaches its maximum size, the oldest information is replaced as new information is added.
To configure what information gets tracked in the log, select Setup > Notifications > Advanced Reporting > Media
Security from the Web client.
To view, save, or e-mail the report, select Reports > Log Viewer from the Web client. Select Media Security Log from the
list of logs and click Next.
Viewing the Media Usage Log
The Media usage report lists information regarding data written and read on the media and lists statistics pertaining to soft
and hard read and write errors. The media usage log collects information on all media that have ever been in the library,
including media that are no longer in the library. Lifetime media usage metrics are associated with the cartridge and are kept
on the embedded cartridge memory. The log reflects what the drive reports from the embedded cartridge memory whenever
the media is unloaded. If the tape cartridge was never mounted and unloaded, it will not appear in the log. When the log file
reaches its maximum size, old information is deleted as new information is added. This may affect the amount of available
historical data.
The log provides the following information:
• Volser — Media cartridge barcode label
• SN — Media cartridge serial number
• Mfr — Media cartridge manufacturer
• Date — Media cartridge manufacturing date (format: YYYYMMDD)
• Type — Media type
• Mounts — Cartridge mount count
