Hi--
Our operators are having a hard time dealing with the various commands and states used by DRM to manage the tapes as they move onsite and offsite. Is there are solution out there that makes it all dummy-proof (and I mean so-simple-a-monkey-can-operate-it)? The features I need are:
1) Easy tracking of which tapes are supposed to be in the library, which are supposed to be sent offsite, which are actually offsite, which are to be recalled, and which are onsite and ready for check-in.
2) One-click check-in and check-out of tapes from several TSM servers sharing the same library.
3) An easy-to-understand graphical view of what cartridges are where.
Any recommendations? I looked at Auto Vault, and it doesn't seem to focus on the tape management part.
Thanks!
