Tape Alert By Drive and Media Interactive Graph
Whenever a problem occurs within a drive or related media (tape cartridges) of a Scalar library, Vision reports the library-generated tape alert. The Tape Alert By Drive and Media interactive graph displays a summary of such tape alerts using a heat map. This heat map indicates the number and severity of tape alerts that have occurred for a specific combination of a tape cartridge and drive.

Cross-reference the tape alert to a specific tape cartridge and drive combination during the time that the alert was generated. By comparing alerts to specific cartridge and drive combinations, you can better determine where the problem exists.
Typical Alerts
- If a single drive exhibits tape alerts against multiple tape cartridges, the problem exists within the drive.
- If a single tape cartridge exhibits tape alerts against multiple drives, the problem exists within the tape cartridge.
