Here is a description of the status tables, fields, and buttons on this page:
To view the Status table
This table lists all virtual tapes on the system and their Scan/Cleanup status. The following is
a description of each column:
Pool :: Cartridge
Displays the name of the pool and virtual tape.
Erased
Displays the timestamp when the virtual tape was erased.
Written
Displays the timestamp when data was last written to the virtual tape.
Retention
Specifies how long the virtual tape will be retained. A retention period specifies an
expiration date and time, which governs when vault space can be reclaimed.
Migrated
Displays the timestamp when the virtual tape was backed up (typically to physical
tape) by a backup management application. If the virtual tape was migrated by
another application, n/a or not by VTS is displayed.
