Report Panes

Report panes are text-only summaries of current information about your tape library system.

Data Read Report

Summarizes total data read from media, including the daily average, daily high and low marks, and average compression ratio.

Data Written Report

Summarizes total data written to media, including the daily average, daily high and low marks, and average compression ratio.

Drives Health Report

Summarizes the number of drives by Drive Health Indicator as computed by STA.

Library Status Report

Summarizes the number of libraries by Library Top-Level Indicator reported by the library.

Media Health Report

Summarizes the number of media by Media Health Indicator as computed by STA. The "Unknown" category includes media for which STA has not received sufficient data to calculate health; this may occur for the following reasons:

  • The media has not been mounted in a drive during the time STA has been monitoring it.
  • The STA Supported attribute for the media has a value of False. This indicates the media has a type does not meet the minimum requirements for STA analytics—for example, SDLT and LTO‐2 media. See the STA Installation and Configuration Guide for details about supported media types.
Media Validation Report

Summarizes media validation activity, including a breakdown of validations performed, number of media validated, number of drives used, and validation elapsed times.

Monitored Device Counts

Summarizes total devices monitored in your tape library system, including libraries, robots, CAPs, pass‐through ports (PTPs), elevators, drives, media, and media removed through a CAP, SL3000 AEM, or SL150 mailslot. By default, this report includes all devices as of the current date.
