Viewing Tape Alerts and
Generating Media
Integrity Analysis
Reports
A drive issues a tape alert whenever there is a problem encountered by
the drive. The problem can be with the drive, library, or with the tape
cartridge. You can view tape alerts on the Media Integrity Analysis tab of
the Ticket Details dialog box. You can also access Media Integrity
Analysis via Reports on the LMC menu. See
Viewing Tape Alerts on
page 69 or Generating Media Integrity Analysis Reports on page 71.
Note: The Media Integrity Analysis feature (including viewing tape
alerts) requires an Advanced Reporting license key to use. For
more information, see Enabling Licenses on page 125.
You can use these reports to cross-reference tape alerts for drives and
tape cartridges over a specified period of time, in order to determine if
the problem belongs to the drive or to a specific tape cartridge.
Typically, tape alerts point to a drive problem if a specific drive exhibits
tape alerts against multiple pieces of media. Conversely, tape alerts
point to a media problem if a specific piece of media exhibits tape alerts
against multiple drives. See
Generating Media Integrity Analysis Reports
on page 71.
