Tape Alert to Drive 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 to Drive interactive graph displays the cumulative number for each type of tape alert generated per tape drive in a Scalar library.

Use this interactive graph to pinpoint problematic drives by identifying the drives generating the most tape alerts. In addition, you can select the Show Partitions check box at the top of the console to display the Scalar library's partitions in this graph.

Typical Alert

If a single drive exhibits tape alerts against multiple tape cartridges, a problem exists within the drive.
