Tape Library

IBM TS2k and TS3k tape libraries do not support REST API.
Implementation is done through the SNMP protocol. Tape libraries however providing just limited set of data through that protocol, therefore persented data set is not so rich as for IBM TS4k.

Monitored scope

  • Configuration
  • Health status
  • Drive usage in the time
  • Drive configuration
  • Slot configuration
