The MediaAgent nodes in a CommCell provides vital information about all the MediaAgents in the CommCell. All the MediaAgents that are not operational are highlighted in the CommNet tree.

The CommNet tree displays a node for each MediaAgent in the CommCell. The Library Status and Drive Status display the status information associated with the physical entities that are controlled by the MediaAgent. For shared libraries the following information is displayed:

• For a library shared between multiple MediaAgents in a SAN DDS environment, the library and drive status information is displayed in all these MediaAgents.
• For a direct-attached shared library, the library information is displayed by the MediaAgent controlling the media changer. All the other MediaAgents, which share the drives in the library, display the drive information associated with the specific MediaAgent.

MediaAgent Summary displays the date and time at which the most recent information was obtained from the CommCell about the MediaAgent, in the title of the summary page. If you wish to obtain more up-to-date information, you can synchronize the CommCell associated with the MediaAgent, as described in Synchronize Cells.
