This report is applicable to only NetBackup, Networker, IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM), Commvault Simpana, and HP Data Protector.
Depending on your environment, this report listing can get rather long, so you may want to narrow the report's scope. When you generate the report, you can limit the output using the following parameter choices:
Scope: Select specific hosts and/or host groups
Event Status: Select All Media, Media Inside Tape Library, or Media Outside Tape Library
Media Status: All, Expired, Available, In Use, or Full. Note that the Expired status is not a valid option for IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) and HP Data Protector, as those vendors do not support this status for tapes.
When your Tape Media Summary report contains multiple listings, the sortable headings enable you to find the tape media you want quickly. Click on any of the table headings to sort the table by that heading in ascending order. Click the heading a second time to sort in descending order.
