Reviewing The Media In A Library - HP StorageWorks D2D Configuration Manual

The output will be similar to this:
Vendor: HP
Type: Sequential-Access
2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 1
st: version 20050830, fixed bufsize 32768, s/g segs 256
st 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi tape st0
In this example the SCSI tape device file that has been assigned is st0. To verify the tape device file
for the tape drive, the MT command should be used:
localhost:~ $ mt -f /dev/st0 status
The output should be:
mt: /dev/st0 : No medium found
This indicates that the tape drive files are valid but no media is loaded into the drive.

Reviewing the media in a library

To verify the contents of the media slots within a library, the following command should be used:
localhost:~ $ mtx –f /dev/sg2 status
The output for a MSL 2024 library with 1 tape drive and 24 cartridges configured would look similar
to this:
Storage Changer /dev/sg2:1 Drives, 24 Slots

Storage Element 25 IMPORT/EXPORT:Empty
Each data transfer element represents an Ultrium tape drive within the library. Storage elements 1 to
24 represent the 24 configured slots within the library. Storage element 25 represents the import/export
slot of the library, also known as the Mail Slot in the HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System Web
Management Interface.
