1. OVERVIEW


This chapter provides an overview of the CA MICS Tape
Analyzer Option (TAP), which provides IT management
information for both tape management systems and virtual tape
subsystems in two separate components:

o Tape Library Management (TLM)

o Virtual Tape Subsystems (VTS)

One or both of these components can be used, based on the
needs at your data center. Both components process raw data
and build database files that can be used to analyze and
manage specific technologies.

This section contains the following topics:

1.1 TLM Component

1.2 VTS Component
