Agent information 51
•
Ultra3—The current data transfer speed for this tape library is 80 million transfers per second.
•
Unknown—The agent is unable to determine the current negotiated data transfer speed for this tape library.
NOTE:
If the current data transfer width is Narrow (8 bits) then the speed in megabytes per second is
equal to the million transfers per second speed. If the current width is Wide (16 bits) then the speed
in megabytes per second is twice the million transfers per second speed. For example, if the current
speed is Ultra and the width is Wide then the speed would be 40 megabytes per second.
•
Negotiated Link Rate—Displays the negotiated link rate for SAS and SATA tape libraries. The possible values
are:
•
1.5 Gbps—The negotiated link rate for this tape library is 1.5 gigabits per second.
•
3.0 Gbps—The negotiated link rate for this tape library is 3.0 gigabits per second.
•
Unknown—The agent is unable to determine the negotiated link rate for this tape library.
•
Door Status—Displays the status of the door. The following values are valid:
•
Not Supported—The door status is not supported by the device.
•
Closed—The door is closed.
•
Open—The door is open.
•
Unknown—The state of the tape library door cannot be determined. You may need to upgrade the Storage
Agents.
•
Total Moves—Displays the number of tape moves for the library loader arm.
•
Service Hours—Displays the number of hours of operation for the library.

Storage Agents.
•
Model—Displays the model name of the tape drive. Use this value for identification purposes.
•
Firmware Revision—Displays the firmware revision level of the tape drive. Use this value for identification
purposes.
•
Serial Number—Displays the unit serial number for the tape drive. Use this value for identification purposes.
