Abstract
A system includes a processor and logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor, the logic being configured to gather usage data of a tape drive during usage thereof and create and/or update a usage model based on the usage data. The logic is configured to determine that the usage model has reached a predefined confidence level and perform an action for extending a life of the tape drive in response to determining that the usage model has reached the predefined confidence level.
Claims19
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor, the logic being configured to:
- gather usage data of a tape drive during usage thereof;
- create and/or update a usage model based on the usage data;
- determine that the usage model has reached a predefined confidence level;
- and
- performing an action for extending a life of the tape drive in response to determining that the usage model has reached the predefined confidence level.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- gathering inputs associated with use of a tape drive during usage thereof;
- creating and/or updating a usage model based on at least one of the inputs reaching a predefined threshold;
- determining that the usage model has reached a predefined confidence level;
- and
- performing an action for extending a life of the tape drive in response to determining that the usage model has reached the predefined confidence level.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a magnetic head;
- a controller coupled to the magnetic head, the controller being configured to:
- gather usage data of a tape drive during usage thereof,
- create and/or update a usage model based on the usage data,
- determine that the usage model has reached a predefined confidence level, and
- recommending an action for extending a life of the tape drive;
- and
- a drive mechanism for passing a magnetic medium over the magnetic head.
