NOTE:
Alerts may be triggered for certain drive and tape conditions when a support ticket is
requested by the user, or if proactive log retrieval is enabled. The drives are checked for these
conditions and associated alerts whenever a drive unloads a tape. The following list describes
these alert conditions:
•
Warnings or errors generated from device analysis, which will show drive or tape problems
identified by looking at the drive logs.
•
Temperature problems identified for either the drive or tape.
•
Excessive drive usage, including load/unload life, head life, and reposition life.
•
Write quality problems.
•
Read quality problems.
•
Excessive media usage, including read/write life and load/unload life.
For write/read quality and usage issues, the severity of the alert triggered will depend on the level
of the issue. The alert description will include any recommended service actions.
