HP StorageWorks TapeAssure service release notes Part Number: EH957-90924 Second edition: September 2010
Legal and notice information © Copyright 2010 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
Version: 1.1 Description The HP StorageWorks TapeAssure service enables the monitoring of standalone tape drives and tapes by pulling HP Library and Tape Tools support tickets between backups. This service is used in conjunction with HP StorageWorks Command View TL, which receives the tickets, processes them and offers a web-based graphical user interface to view the results.
The service now retains a copy of the most recent ticket pulled for each drive, which can be viewed with L&TT or sent to HP support for analysis. Drives can now be selectively disabled by adding their serial numbers to the DRIVES_TO_BE_DISABLED key in the configuration file. Event notifications are now sent to the Windows application log. Disabling sending of one or more event categories can be configured in the config\sta_event_configuration.cfg file in the installation directory.
