Note. All tape drives connected to a system appear under the Tape Collection object. When a IOMF2-connected tape drive uses storage routers, those objects appear under that tape drive object in the OSM tree pane hierarchy; however, fibre channel routers appear under the Monitored Service LAN Devices object (after being configured in OSM).
