storage tape show-supported-status

Displays the qualification and supported status of tape drives

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description​

This command displays the supported and qualification status of all tape drives recognized by Data ONTAP attached to a node in the cluster. This includes nonqualified tape drives. Such tape drives do not have a Tape Configuration File (TCF) on the storage system. A nonqualified tape drive can be used if the tape drive emulates a qualified tape drive or if the appropriate TCF for the nonqualified tape drive is downloaded from the Lenovo Data Center Support site to the storage system.

Parameters​

If you specify the -fields <fieldname>, ... parameter, the command output also includes the specified field or fields. You can use '-fields ?' to display the fields to specify.

If you specify the -instance parameter, the command displays detailed information about all fields.
