87.1 Tapes Modules

The suite of Tape Management modules provided by Etere for the management of tapes includes the following ones:

Tapes Modules

Tape Library - Insert and define tapes into the tape inventory and search them through a robust search engine that permits the location of tapes based on specific properties.
Tape Loading - Easy upload/download of tapes from racks; view the main information of a tape and manage its content directly under a rack-view.
Tape Loan - Perform loans and returns of tapes and consult all the information related to these operations (e.g. loaner, borrower, responsible, dates, etc.).
Tape Manager - Assign new/existing tapes to assets and detail the tape recording information required for their subsequent ingestion (e.g. SOM, EOM, EDL, split parts).
Racks - Locate tapes within specific racks and libraries and consult some of their more important storage properties (e.g. free space, used space, etc.).
All the above-listed modules will be explained in detail in this chapter.
