Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5

Situation

Tape Drive not reported on AIX machines by the Unix collector during an Inventory scan

Resolution

Fixed in Interim Release 16 or newer
 
If downloading the Interim Release manually from https://download.novell.com , the filename is ZENworks Asset Management Interim Release 16. The Interim releases can also be set up within the ZAM Manager for the Task server to check the site on a scheduled basis, and download and apply them automatically. Please refer to the Help Section for details of how to set up automatic downloads if desired. 

 Each interim release is cumulative. If Interim Release 16 is not available due to a newer interim release being placed on the website, be assured that the code needed is in the later release.

Additional Information

Added tape drive recognition. Note that, because we don't have an appropriate "official" classification for tape drives, tape drives will have a ProductType of "Removable Media Drive".
