The output will be similar to this: Vendor: HP Model: Ultrium 3-SCSI Rev: pc81 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 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 ( 1 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Empty Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=72255101 Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=72255102 Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=72255103 Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=72255104 Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=72255105 Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=72255106 Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=72255107 Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=72255108 Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=72255109 Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=72255110A Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=72255110B Storage Element 12:Full :VolumeTag=72255110C Storage Element 13:Full :VolumeTag=72255110D Storage Element 14:Full :VolumeTag=72255110E Storage Element 15:Full :VolumeTag=72255110F Storage Element 16:Full :VolumeTag=722551110 Storage Element 17:Full :VolumeTag=722551111 Storage Element 18:Full :VolumeTag=722551112 Storage Element 19:Full :VolumeTag=722551113 Storage Element 20:Full :VolumeTag=722551114 Storage Element 21:Full :VolumeTag=722551115 Storage Element 22:Full :VolumeTag=722551116 Storage Element 23:Full :VolumeTag=722551117 Storage Element 24:Full :VolumeTag=722551118 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. D2D Backup System 23

The output will be similar to this:
Vendor: HP
Model: Ultrium 3-SCSI
Rev: pc81
Type:
Sequential-Access
ANSI SCSI revision: 03
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:

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.
