•
Missing - Was Offline —Indicates that a tape drive that was located in a system and had a status of offline
has been removed.
•
Unknown—Indicates that the state of the tape drive cannot be determined. You may need to upgrade the
Storage Agents.
•
Model—Displays the model name of the tape drive. Use this value for identification purposes.
•
Firmware Revision—Displays the firmware revision level of the tape drive. Use this value for identification
purposes.
•
Serial Number—Displays the unit serial number for the tape drive. Use this value for identification purposes.
NOTE:
Not all tape devices support serial numbers.
•
Protocol Type—Displays the protocol used to communicate with the tape drive. The following values are valid:
•
Parallel SCSI—The protocol is Parallel SCSI.
•
Serial ATA—The protocol is Serial ATA.
•
SAS—The protocol is Serial Attached SCSI.
•
Unknown—The Storage Agents are unable to determine the protocol.
•
Current Width—Displays the current negotiated data transfer width for Parallel SCSI tape drives. The possible
values are:
•
Narrow (8 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this drive is narrow (8 data bits).
•
Wide (16 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this drive is wide (16 data bits).
•
Unknown—The Storage Agents are unable to determine the current negotiated data transfer width for this
drive.
•
Current Speed—Displays the current negotiated data transfer speed for Parallel SCSI tape drives. The possible
values are:
•
Asynchronous—The current data transfer speed for this drive is asynchronous.
•
Fast—The current data transfer speed for this drive is 10 million transfers per second.
•
Ultra—The current data transfer speed for this drive is 20 million transfers per second.
•
Ultra2—The current data transfer speed for this drive is 40 million transfers per second.
•
Ultra3—The current data transfer speed for this drive is 80 million transfers per second.
•
Unknown—The agent is unable to determine the current negotiated data transfer speed for this drive.
NOTE:
If the current data transfer width is Narrow (8 bits) then the speed in megabytes per second is
equal to the million transfers per second speed. If the current width is Wide (16 bits) then the speed
in megabytes per second is twice the million transfers per second speed. For example, if the current
speed is Ultra and the width is Wide then the speed would be 40 megabytes per second.
•
Negotiated Link Rate—Displays the negotiated link rate for SAS and SATA tape drives. The possible values are:
•
1.5 Gbps—The negotiated link rate for this drive is 1.5 gigabits per second.
•
3.0 Gbps—The negotiated link rate for this drive is 3.0 gigabits per second.
•
Unknown—The agent is unable to determine the negotiated link rate for this tape drive.
•
Magazine Size—Displays the magazine size of autoloader tape drives. For single tape devices, the magazine
size is N/A.
•
Placement—Indicates whether the tape drive is in an internal or external storage system. The following values
are valid:
•
Internal—The tape drive is in an internal storage system.
•
External—The tape drive is in an external storage system.
•
Unknown—The tape drive is not in a storage system or the Storage Agents cannot determine the drive
placement.
—This symbol indicates that the drive is a hot-plug drive.
•
Library Drive—Indicates whether the tape drive is included in a tape library. The following values are valid:
•
Yes—The tape drive is included in a tape library.
•
No—The tape drive is not included in a tape library.
•
Unknown—The Storage Agents are unable to determine if the tape drive is included in a tape library.
