TL is an enterprise library-focused, web-based application, and the use with HP TapeAssure is for only
a subset of its full capabilities.
Reporting errors and logs
The TapeAssure LTFS service provides the following output files, as well as STDOUT. Two files are
located under logs in the install directory and can be viewed with any text editor:
•
SA-TapeAssure_Service_error — for errors encountered during operation
•
SA-TapeAssure_Service_log — for logging TapeAssure LTFS service activity
Verifying the installation
HP TapeAssure LTFS service requires the SA_TapeAssure_Service daemon to be running. To
verify that the service is running:
•
Execute Sa_TapeAssure -d and verify that the status is RUNNING.
The simplest way to verify that the service is running and tickets are getting to Command View TL is
to perform a normal write and unmount sequence and use the Command View TL user interface to
verify that the data has been received:
1.
Mount a tape using HP LTFS.
2.
Write data to that tape.
3.
Unmount the tape.
4.
Wait for the service polling interval, which is 60 minutes by default. Alternatively you can stop
and re-start the TapeAssure service.
5.
Click on the Command View TL TapeAssure Drives Performance tab and verify that the drive
serial number appears in the list.
