HP Insight Management Agents - Manual (Page 62)

◦ 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.
