A method of accessing tape storage analytics data from tape libraries. The method includes generating user interfaces on client devices. Each user interface includes a first screen displaying graphics or analysis tables based on the tape storage analytics data. The method includes receiving user input selecting the displayed graphics or an item within a cell of the analysis table and modifying the user interface to display a second screen, which presents a subset of the tape storage analytics data corresponding to operation of at least one of one or more tape libraries or library components (e.g., robots and elevators), tape drives, and tape media within the tape libraries or, alternatively, activities involving any of a combination of these components. The receiving and modifying steps are repeated to navigate between data corresponding to a tape library, a tape drive, and media and to operations involving these and other tape library components.

Storage tape analytics user interface with media validation

The present invention is directed toward the resumption of a journaling process in a data management appliance after a period of unavailability. The data management appliance is a random-access storage system that at the logical block level replicates the contents of a primary storage system over time. A small 'dirty extent map' is established on the primary storage device. The dirty extent map keeps track of which portions of primary storage are written to while journaling is interrupted. When journaling is resumed, the contents of the dirty extents are compared to the latest replica of the primary storage to identify the differences. These differences are then journaled as if they were write commands. Meanwhile, new write commands are also journaled by the data management appliance. Once the differences of all of the dirty extents have been journaled, the data management appliance may resume normal journaling operation.
