The Tape Manager page lets you run a default CIMOM discovery job and a
tape library probe job. A CIMOM discovery job and a tape library probe job
are required before Aperi can monitor your tape libraries. If you do not
see a tape library listed in the table, you need to run a CIMOM discovery
job for the tape libraries.
There are several sections on
this page. You can expand or collapse any section by clicking the + or - icon
to the left of each section heading. When a section is collapsed, you will
see the section heading with a status or status summary.
