The library allows you to retrieve tape drive logs using the Web client.
Tape drive log information can be used to help troubleshoot the library,
the tape drive sled, and tape drive issues.
Since the log retrieval process can take up to 30 minutes, the tape drive
and associated partition are automatically taken offline during the
operation and brought back online when the operation completes. You
will be asked to confirm that you want to take the tape drive and
partition offline.
Tape drive log files adhere to the following naming convention:
UDS_ID_SN.DMP, where ID identifies the tape drive coordinate location
within the library and SN identifies the tape drive serial number.
