About using Command View TL with the TapeAssure service
Command View TL is a web-based application that usually runs on a separate server than the backup
server. Your organization might already have an installation of Command View TL for existing HP
EML or ESL-e libraries. If so, this can be used for the TapeAssure service, provided it is running the
latest firmware.
NOTE:
HP recommends using a single Command View TL management station for all TapeAssure-monitored
systems.
Command View TL is a large, Java-based application and can take up to five minutes to initialize and
launch.
Using HP TapeAssure in Command View TL does not require a license. The Command View TL license
covers advanced library features which are not related to TapeAssure functionality
About the Command View TL Library Selection screen
When Command View TL starts, it displays the Library Selection screen, which displays information
about libraries.
Click the TapeAssure tab to view the TapeAssure data.
If the installation is only for the use of the TapeAssure service, the other tabs can be ignored; they are
provided for library-specific features.
TapeAssure overview
The first item displayed in the TapeAssure tab is the TapeAssure Overview. This overview lists the
systems monitored by HP TapeAssure. If there is data about standalone tape drives in the database,
then this is also referenced.
