Cannot Discover Slots in tape Drive

Hi @Mubaraq 

Has this tape been taken off the Scalar library ?

What is shown if look at the lists in exported media/ media in library/slots/IE ports ?

Do you have access to this Scalar tape library to check if the barcode of this tape is found anywhere inside the library ?

The export location is simply a logical location where the tape was exported to. You can define locations within Commvault (like shelf, closet, Iron Mountain etc) and when you export tapes, you can set the location on these tapes where the tapes are going to be physically placed so its easier to find them when there is a need to restore.

All the export field shows is whether its in the library which is indicated by the green checkmark icon OR it provides you the location that was set within Commvault when the tape was last exported.

Based on the screenshot, it seems tape GL00807 was exported and is outside the library currently. The other tapes within the screenshot are within the library.

Hope this helps.
