A tape library is a tape drive that is connected to a storage area network
(SAN). Additional links are available on the System Page to
access detailed information when a tape library is selected. Included here
are the areas that are unique to tape libraries. HP SIM displays data supplied
by the tape library's SMI-S provider. If the SMI-S
provider does not supply data for a particular property, the property does
not appear on this page. Refer to System Page - Identity Tab for Servers for additional
information about the tab.
The Ports, Media Access Devices, and Changer Devices sections show the
date, time, and duration of the last data collection task. If you want to
update the data, click the Last Update link, and schedule
or run a Data Collection task. Refer to Administering Systems and Events - Data Collection for additional information about data collection tasks.
