Report Drive and Media Types

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

The following methods are described:

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

Referenced Tasks

•
“Tooltips”
•
“Use Resource ID Links to Navigate”

▼

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

2.
Move the mouse over the relevant section of a pie or bar chart to display a tooltip with descriptive information and totals.

In the following example, moving the mouse over the T10000A bar chart reveals that there are a total of seven T10000A drives with a “Use” health.

3.
If you select a section of a bar or pie chart, you are taken to the associated Overview screen, filtered for that type of drive or media.

In the example below, the Drives – Overview screen is displayed, filtered to display only T10000A drives with a “Use” health.

▼

Using Analysis Screens

This method is especially useful if you want data aggregated by a series of criteria, such as by library and media state. The pivot table on Analysis screens presents this information in a concise format.

1.
In the Navigation Bar, select an Analysis screen (Drives – Analysis or Media – Analysis).

In the example of the Media – Analysis screen below, subtotals and totals are provided at the bottom of each column and to the right of each row.
