Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Log Containing Tape Drive Info
Servergraph/TSM, http://www.servergraph.com, can send alert emails based on any
message that appears in the TSM log.
That's how we get notified that a drive is having a problem.

The Operational Reporter shows all drives online. That's because the drive
did not go offline. I had to manually take the drive, and path, offline.
The error message is that the "volume ****** could not be mounted into
drive ***". After the SE arrived, we found that the actual problem was
that the pump, for the vacuum that sucks the tape in, had gone out.
This is not the first time we've had a problem, and didn't know the tape
drive was inaccessible. Last time it was over a weekend. I'll keep
looking.
Thanks for all the input,
Debbie

There isn't, but if you use the hourly monitor facility from TSM's
Operational Reporter, one of the statuses it looks for by default is
offline drives. Since hourly monitor reports can be emailed, the balance
of the task is easily left to the student.
