VTS Physical Devices

The VTS Physical Devices attributes provide detailed performance and configuration information about the physical devices in a virtual tape server (VTS).

Average Concurrent Mounts: The average number of physical tape drives available to a VTS that were used at the same time.

Average Mount Pend Time: The average amount of time in seconds that this VTS waited for a tape volume to be mounted on a physical tape drive.

Managed System: The SMS name of this system.

Maximum Concurrent Mounts: The maximum number of physical tape drives available to VTS that were used at the same time.

Maximum Mount Pend Time: The maximum amount of time in seconds that this VTS waited for a tape volume to be mounted on a physical tape drive.

Migration Mounts: The number of physical tape drive mounts required to move new data from the TVC to the physical tape volumes associated with this VTS.

Minimum Concurrent Mounts: The minimum number of physical tape drives available to a VTS that were used at the same time.

Minimum Mount Pend Time: The minimum amount of time in seconds that this VTS waited for a tape volume to be mounted on a physical tape drive.

Physical Drives Available: The number of physical tape drives available to this VTS to move data between the TVC and the physical tape volumes.

Physical Drives Installed: The number of physical tape drives installed in this VTS.

Reclamation Mounts: The number of physical tape drive mounts required to remove obsolete data from the physical tape volumes and to consolidate active data on physical tape volumes associated with this VTS.

Stage Mounts: The number of mount requests in this VTS for a virtual tape volume for which the virtual tape volume is not located in the TVC. In this case, there is a physical tape mount associated with the virtual mount request to access the logical volume from a physical tape.

Time Stamp: Displays the date and time this data was collected from the VTS.

VTS LIB TY: Specifies the library type of this VTS.
  • Stand Alone: VTS that is not part of a peer-to-peer VTS environment.
  • Distributed: VTS that is part of a peer-to-peer VTS environment, but has not been designated for user interface commands.
  • Distributed UI: VTS that is part of a peer-to-peer VTS environment, and has been designated for user interface commands.
  • Composite: Logical view of a peer-to-peer VTS environment.
  • Not Applicable: The library type attribute does not apply to TS7700 resources.

VTS Name: Specifies the name of this virtual tape server.
