Drive Management Tasks

Display the Media Drive Events Report

Note – This feature is available starting with SL500 firmware version 1200 and SL Console version 3.30.

The Media Drive Events Report lists the 100 most recent library media access errors. The report is updated whenever a drive is not able to perform a load, unload, read, or write operation on a cartridge. You can use the report to help determine whether a particular drive or cartridge is in need of maintenance or replacement.

By default, the report is sorted in reverse chronological order (that is, by Date/Time, with the most recent entry at the top). Optionally, you can change the sort order, and rearrange and resize the columns. See “Modifying the Screen Layout” on page 32.
