Query the Status of Tape Drives

The command, query drive all, provides information about the tape volumes, the tape drives, their state, their status, and their type in the StorageTek ACSLS tape library.

To query the status of the tape drives

1. Start the cmd_proc utility.
2. Enter

   query drive all
   

   The command displays the following information:

   2004-03-18 12:51:31               Drive Status
   

   Identifier   State           Status      Volume     Type
   

   0, 0, 0, 0 online          available              SGT-LTO
   

   0, 0, 0, 1 online          available              SGT-LTO
   

   0, 0, 0, 2 online          available              SGT-LTO
   

   0, 0, 0, 3 online          available              SGT-LTO
   

The identifier consists of four digits, which represent the following:

• Automated Cartridge System (ACS)
• Logical Silo Module (LSM)
• Panel number (Panel)
• Drive ID number (ID)

In the preceding example, “0, 0, 0, 0” on the first line translates to ACS = 0, LSM = 0, Panel = 0, ID = 0 while “0, 0, 0, 3” on the fourth line translates to ACS = 0, LSM = 0, Panel = 0, Drive ID = 3.
