Figure 11-2 OSM: Monitoring Tape Drives Connected to an IOMF2
NOTE: All tape drives connected to a system appear under the Tape Collection object. When
a IOMF2-connected tape drive uses storage routers, those objects appear under that tape drive
object in the OSM tree pane hierarchy; however, fibre channel routers appear under the Monitored
Service LAN Devices object (after being configured in OSM).
Monitoring Tape Drive Status With SCF
To check the status of all tape drives on your system with SCF:
> SCF STATUS TAPE $*
A listing similar to this one is sent to your home terminal:
STORAGE - Status TAPE \MINDEN.$XTAPE
LDev State Primary Backup DeviceStatus
PID PID
93 STOPPED 1,287 0,279 NOT READY
STORAGE - Status TAPE \MINDEN.$TAPE0
LDev State Primary Backup DeviceStatus
PID PID
99 STARTED 1,289 0,278 NOT READY
The data shown in the report means:
The logical device numberLDev
The current SCF state of the tape pathState
The current SCF substate of the tape pathSubState
