High Water Marks
The high water mark is the highest number of tape drives, storage slots,
or media present in a partition during a given month. The report
displays the following high water mark information for each partition:
• DWM — Drive high water mark. The highest number of tape drives
configured in the partition during the month.
• SWM — Storage high water mark. The highest number of storage
slots configured in the partition during the month.
• MWM — Media high water mark. The highest number of media
residing in the partition during the month.
• PN — Partition name.
If you pull a report in the middle of a month, the report displays high
water mark counts received so far.
If you delete a partition, that partition’s high water marks will be
reported for the period of time before the partition was deleted.
Partition Activity

partitions, as well as physically adding media to and removing media
from partitions. This section lists each occurrence of partition activity
that took place during the month.
Each entry in this section includes the following information:
• Date and time the activity occurred.
