Report Total Libraries, Drives, or Media

These procedures address the question, “How many libraries, drives, or media cartridges are in my tape system environment?”

The following methods are described:

•
“Using the Dashboard”
•
“Using Overview Screens”
•
“Using Analysis Screens”

Related Topics

•
“Tooltips”
•
“Clear the Current Filter”

Using the Dashboard
1.
In the Navigation Bar, select Dashboard.

2.
If the number of resources (libraries, drives, or media cartridges) is small, you can do a quick visual count just by reading the graph.

In the example below, you can estimate from the graph that there are eight libraries total: (1 + 1 + 6).

3.
If the number of resources is high, you can move the mouse over each slice in the pie chart to display tooltips of descriptive information, including totals.

In the example below, the pie chart tooltips yield the count: 13 + 9 + 23 = 45 total.

▼

Using Overview Screens

In Overview screens, the total number of records displayed is listed at the lower-right corner of the List View table. As long as there are no filters applied, this number is the total of that type of resource (libraries, drives, or media) monitored by STA.

1.
In the Navigation Bar, select an Overview screen.

2.
Check the Applied Filter area of the table, and verify that there is no filter in effect. If one has been applied, see “Clear the Current Filter” for instructions on clearing it.

In the example below, no filter has been applied, and the Drives – Overview screen indicates there are 232 total drives monitored by STA.

▼

Using Analysis Screens

Analysis screens aggregate data according to a variety of criteria.

1.
In the Navigation Bar, select an Analysis screen.

2.
Check the Applied Filter area of the table, and verify that there is no filter in effect. If one has been applied, see “Clear the Current Filter” for instructions on clearing it.

In the example of the Drives – Analysis screen below, no filter has been applied, and the pivot table breaks down the 232 total drives by library complex and state.
