Media Management Drive Report

Use this report to obtain status information for the drives in the selected CommCell(s). Running this report can be useful for troubleshooting your CommCell environment. The report can be based on the Physical Drives or Drive Controllers in the CommCell(s). It provides you with detailed information regarding drive status, such as whether or not it is active, operational, or even if it has failed, which then includes the failure reason. Status information for this report includes the following:

Report Based on Physical Drives

Physical Drives

This chart displays the number of all physical drives (including the mountpaths) and whether they are operational (percentages and numbers displayed in a pie chart).

Drives

This table contains the status information for the selected CommCell's drives.  

• The name of the library where the drive physically resides
• The name of the drive
• The status of the drive and, if not operational, the failure reason and since when it has been not operational (percentages and numbers shown in a pie chart)
• The assigned cost category
