The BEX KM monitors the capacity of media sets and the utilization of tape volumes within the media set. The following information is collected:
| • | The total capacity of the media set is shown in the BEXMediaCapacity (size in Gb) and BEXMediaCapacityPct (percentage used of total size) parameters. Alert thresholds can be set on one or both of these parameters to define the maximum capacity of a media set before new tape volumes should be added. See the PATROL for Windows User Guide Volume 3 (section 6) or the PATROL for UNIX User Guide (section 10) for information on customizing KM parameters. |
| • | The total number of tape volumes in a media set is shown by the BEXMediaCount parameter. The number of empty and full volumes in a media set is shown by the BEXMediaEmptyCount and BEXMediafullCount parameters respectively. |
| • | The average number of mounts for all tape volumes in the media set is shown by the BEXMediaMountAvg parameter. The BEXMediaMountMax parameter shows the number of mounts for the tape volume with the maximum number of mounts for all volumes in the media set. |
| • | The average amount of time used for all tape volumes in the media set is shown by the BEXMediaTimeAvg parameter. The BEXMediaTimeMax parameter shows the time used for the tape volume that has been used the most. |
