David,
I think you could easily work with SELECT * FROM SUMMARY WHERE ACTIVITY='TAPE MOUNT' You can see in the results in which drive your tapes got mounted. If you have a high number of mounts, maybe it should be better to limit the select to a specific date/time, or specific volumes, to avoid a large number of result being displayed. -- Paul Gondim van Dongen Engenheiro de Sistemas MCSE Tivoli Certified Consultant - Storage Manager VANguard - Value Added Network guardians http://www.vanguard-it.com.br Fone: 55 81 3225-0353 -----Mensagem original----- De: David Stabler [mailto:dstabler@;MORRISONHOMES.COM] Enviada em: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 11:03 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assunto: Tape History.... Is there a nice easy way to tell where a tape has been? I'm experiencing about a 15-20% failure rate, over time, in tapes in my 3584 LTO (Ultrium, not DLT). The tapes that are failing are from varied vendors, but all are non-IBM tapes. I'm afraid that one of the drives is potentially causing physical harm (tapes sent off for analysis have shown, in some cases, damage after 150ft) but I don't want to have IBM just replace everthing without having an idea of what I'm after. What could I do to gather that information? I could run a nightly script watching tape activity, of course, and keep that data, but I'm wondering if Tivoli keeps that conveniently.
