Monitoring Tape Drive Status
Monitoring Tape Drive Status With TSM
To check the status of all tape drives on your system with the TSM Service Application:
1. Log on to the TSM Service Application.
2. From the tree pane (Figure 10-3):
a. Double-click Tape Drives.
b. Click the tape drive whose status you want to check.
3. From the Attributes tab in the details pane:
a. Check that the Service State is OK. If the Service State is anything other than
OK, the tape drive might need replacement. Contact your service provider and
refer to the NTL Support and Service Library for the replacement procedure.
b. In TSM, check that the SCF State is Up.
If either of these attributes is not Up, operator intervention might be required.
