This class stores information about a tape drive attached to a client computer. This class is included in a default hardware inventory operation.
Table C.56 Tape Drive Attribute Class (SMS_G_System_TAPE_DRIVE)
| Property (Bold if collected) | Data type | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Availability | uint32 | Indicates the availability and status of the device.
Values are: | |
| Capabilities | string | Indicates the capabilities of the MediaAccessDevice.
Values are: | |
| Caption | string | Describes the object. Maximum length is 64 characters. | |
| Compression | uint32 | Indicates the compression level of the tape drive. | |
| DefaultBlockSize | uint32 | Kilobytes. | |
| Description | string | Describes the object. | |
| DeviceID | string | Key. An address or other identifying information to uniquely name the logical device. Maximum length is 64 characters. | |
| ECC | uint32 | ||
| EOTWarningZoneSize | uint32 | Indicates the size, in bytes, of the area designated as ‘end of tape’. Access in this area generates an ‘end of tape’ warning. | |
| ErrorMethodology | string | Describes the types of error detection and correction supported by this device. | |
| FeaturesHigh | uint32 | ||
| FeaturesLow | uint32 | ||
| GroupID | uint32 | 2 | Within one ResourceId (one SMS client), GroupID distinguishes one instance of a class from another. Objects with the same ResourceId and GroupID are “deltas” of one another, describing the same hardware inventory instance at different points in time. This is not a collectable property. |
| InstallDate | datetime | See “Date and Time Formats” at the beginning of Appendix B. | Indicates when the object was installed. The absence of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed. |
| MaxBlockSize | uint32 | Kilobytes. Indicates the maximum block size, in bytes, for media accessed by this device. | |
| MaxPartitionCount | uint32 | Indicates the maximum partition count for the tape drive. | |
| MediaType | string | Indicates the type of media used or accessed by this device. | |
| MinBlockSize | uint32 | Kilobytes. Indicates the minimum block size, in bytes, for media accessed by this device. | |
| Name | string | Defines the label that the object is known by. Maximum length is 256 characters. | |
| NumberOfMediaSupported | uint32 | Defines the maximum number of multiple individual media that can be supported or inserted when the media access device supports multiple individual media. | |
| Padding | uint32 | Indicates the number of bytes inserted between blocks on a tape media. | |
| PowerManagementSupported | uint32 | 1 | A Boolean that indicates that the ComputerSystem and its running OperatingSystem support power management. This Boolean does not indicate that power management features are currently enabled, or if they are enabled, which features are supported.
Values are: |
| ReportSetMarks | uint32 | ||
| ResourceId | uint32 | 42 | Key. Inventory items with the same ResourceId were all discovered on the same SMS client. The ResourceId identifies the SMS client.
A ResourceId is an integer generated for the sake of SQL; it is not unique outside the site and should be used only for short-term querying purposes. It is not a collectable property. |
| RevisionID | uint32 | 1 | Objects with the same ResourceId and GroupID are deltas, differentiated from one another by RevisionID number. The highest number is the most recent update. This is not a collectable property. |
| Status | string | "OK" | Indicates the current status of the object.
Values are: Maximum length is 10 characters. |
| StatusInfo | string | "3" | Indicates the state of the LogicalDevice.
Values are: |
| SystemName | string | Indicates the scoping system’s name Maximum length is 256 characters. | |
| TimeStamp | datetime | See “Date and Time Formats” at the beginning of Appendix B. | Indicates when the information in this object was last revised. This is not a collectable property. |
