Tape Media Summary Report
Use Quick Search to find a template, report or dashboard by name. Search is case insensitive, supports partial entries, and will display a list of potential matches.
As you enter the name in the Search field, up to 10 potential matches are displayed. If the template, report or dashboard is shown, you can select and run it directly from the match list. You can also click All Items in the match list to go directly to the Search Results.
Use the Explorer to browse through the StorageConsole templates, dashboards and reports. The navigation pane displays templates organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. This report is located here:
Backup Manager > Media Management Reports > Tape Media Summary

NOTE: This report does not display Backup Exec media data.
Depending on your environment, this report listing can get rather long, so you may want to narrow the report’s scope. When you generate the report, you can limit the output using the following parameter choices:
• Scope: Select specific hosts and/or host groups
• Event Status: Select All Media, Media Inside Tape Library, or Media Outside Tape Library
• Media Status: All, Expired, Available, In Use, or Full. Note that the Expired status is not a valid option for IBM TSM and HP Data Protector, as those vendors do not support this status for tapes.
When your Tape Media Summary report contains multiple listings, the sortable headings enable you to find the tape media you want quickly. Click on any of the table headings to sort the table by that heading in ascending order. Click the heading a second time to sort in descending order.
