Days overdue — The number of days elapsed from the date the tape exceeded its policy.

Setting up data verification email notifications

Data verification email notifications allow you to receive email alerts when data verification
determines that data should be migrated to a new tape because the tape is bad. You configure
the data verification notification at the library level. When you receive a data verification email
notification, the subject line is “cartridge migration notification.” The body of the email lists the
serial number of the library, the bar code of the tape requiring data migration, the total amount
of data verified (in MB), the run time of the test (in minutes), and the verification result.

NOTE:

You must have permanent CVTL and data verification licenses to enable data verification

email notification. Perform any SMTP configurations before enabling data verification email
notifications.
