3 Using TapeAssure
Conducting a health assessment of drives and tapes
Unless L&TT has been used regularly, this may be the first health assessment that has been performed
on the tape drive, which might trigger warnings and indicate service actions.
NOTE:
You should be prepared to address possible warnings and/or service actions, such as clean drive or
retire tape the first time you use HP TapeAssure.
Following the first backup, Command View TL will display TapeAssure health data for the drive and
tape. To view the data:
1. In Command View TL, click the TapeAssure tab.
