The Advanced Reporting license provides the following library features:
Control Path Failover (CPF) - Provides support for configuring the LTO-
5 or LTO-6 Fibre Channel (FC) drive for control path failover. To configure
a control path failover drive, you must also have an Advanced Reporting
license. When control path failover is used, one drive is assigned as the
primary control path and another drive as the control path failover
(secondary) drive. The control path failover drive is used whenever the
primary control path drive fails or is inoperable.
Note: CPF can be performed only with HP LTO-5 and HP LTO-6 drives.
