• The reports are built according to data in the log files, not your

current library configuration. For this reason, your library may

contain tape drives or cartridges that do not show up in the report.

Similarly, the report may contain tape drives and cartridges that no

longer reside in the library.

• Information about a tape drive, cartridge, or operation is not

recorded in the Drive Resource Utilization log file until after a tape

cartridge has been mounted (loaded) and unmounted (unloaded)

from the tape drive.
