Tape Storage System Information
Select the Tape Storage System Information entry from the Mass Storage submenu to display the
following information.
•
Status—Displays the status of the tape storage system. The following values are valid:
OK—Indicates that the library is operating normally. ◦
◦ Degraded—Indicates the library has degraded in some manner.
◦ Failed—Indicates the library has failed and can no longer return data. The library may
need to be replaced.
◦ Offline—Indicates the Storage Agents can no longer communicate with the library. This
could be caused by a cabling problem or the library may be powered off.
◦ Unknown—The state of the tape library cannot be determined. You may need to upgrade
the Storage Agents.
•
Model—Displays the model name of the tape library. Use this value for identification purposes.
•
Firmware Revision—Displays the firmware revision level of the tape library. The level can be
used for identification purposes.
•
Serial Number—Displays the unit serial number for the tape library. Use this value for
identification purposes.
•
Protocol Type—Displays the protocol used to communicate with the tape library. 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
libraries. The possible values are:
◦ Narrow (8 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this tape library is narrow (8
data bits).
◦ Wide (16 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this tape library is wide (16 data
bits).
◦ Unknown—The Storage Agents are unable to determine the current negotiated data
transfer width for this tape library.
•
Current Speed—Displays the current negotiated data transfer speed for Parallel SCSI tape
libraries. The possible values are:
◦ Asynchronous—The current data transfer speed for this tape library is asynchronous.
◦ Fast—The current data transfer speed for this tape library is 10 million transfers per
second.
◦ Ultra—The current data transfer speed for this tape library is 20 million transfers per
second.
◦ Ultra2—The current data transfer speed for this tape library is 40 million transfers per
second.
