Configuring the Media Security Log

The Media Security Log lists media that have been removed from the library. You can configure the library to collect any or all of the following media removal events for the log:

Unexpected removal refers to tape cartridges that were removed from the library without being properly exported via the I/E station.
Expected removal refers to tape cartridges that were exported properly via the I/E station.

By default, all the options are disabled and the library collects nothing. You must enable at least one of the options for the library to begin collecting data. The log only lists media that is completely removed from the library. It does not list media that moves from one location to another within the library.

NOTE: You must have an Advanced Reporting license in order to use this feature (see Applying a License Key).

For more information about the Media Security Log, and instructions on how to view, save, and e-mail the log, see Viewing Library Logs.
