Media Integrity Analysis Report

The Media Integrity Analysis report provides TapeAlert count for various combinations of tape drives, tape cartridges, and TapeAlert flags. This can help you determine if a problem is due to a specific tape drive or tape cartridge.

You can only access this report if you have Advanced Reporting licensed on the library (see Applying a License Key). For more information on how the Advanced Reporting feature works, see About Advanced Reporting.

Generating the Report

  1. From the Reports menu, select Advanced Reporting > Media Integrity Analysis.

    The Media Integrity Analysis Report configuration page opens. This might take several minutes.
  2. Configure the settings to create the report you want.
  3. Click Next.

    The report is generated and displays onscreen. The chart contains all of the data for the range you selected. (Values of zero do not appear in pie charts.)

    NOTE: Due to long load times, the table under the chart only contains data for the past seven days. If you need to see the entire data set, you need to save the data file (see Saving and E-mailing Advanced Reporting Data)

    NOTE: It is possible to have tape drives listed in the report that no longer reside in the library. Also, an action or item may not appear in the report if the cartridge has not been unmounted from the tape drive. See About Advanced Reporting for more information.

  4. To "zoom in" on an area of the chart, click and drag the mouse toward the lower right over the areas you wish to zoom in on. To "zoom out" to the full-chart view, click and drag the mouse toward the lower left. To see the exact x- and y-axis values of each item in the chart, move your mouse so that it "hovers" over the item you wish to see. An information bubble appears with the values listed in it. If you click on a bar, point, or slice, the information bubble locks in place and the hovering feature turns off until you reload the chart.

    NOTE: The hovering feature does not work when the value equals zero.
