By default, the Media Lifecycle Management Report screen shows a
Media Health report for all certified media in the library.
Select either Total Library or a specific partition from the Partition drop-
down list, and then select Go.
Note: Information about cleaning cartridges only appears in the
Exported Media, Cleans Remaining, and Born on Date reports.
Description
Shows a summary of the overall health (media health) and the load count (the
number of times each cartridge has been loaded into a tape drive) for each
cartridge.
Shows the remaining capacity and maximum capacity for each cartridge. The
remaining capacity reflects the native capacity of the cartridge, not the
compressed capacity.
Note: The remaining capacity and maximum capacity on a cartridge is
displayed as GB or TB, where each GB or TB is a billion or trillion bytes,
respectively. For example, 800 GB is 800 billion bytes, not 858,993,459,200 (800 x
3
1024 ) bytes.
Shows the load count for each cartridge in the selected location and the born on
date (the date on which the Spectra Logic certified the MLM cartridge).
Shows the number of soft errors and load count for each cartridge.
Shows the number of cleanings remaining and the born on date for any
cleaning cartridges.
Shows the date that the cartridge (both data and cleaning) was created and
certified by Spectra Logic and load count for each cartridge.
Lists the media (both data and cleaning) that has been exported from the
library, sorted by the export time (oldest first). The report also shows the user
name of the person who exported the media.
