TapeSHARE uses three colors to help you see the status of the devices:

Color

Description

Blue

Device is online.

White

Device is online.

Red

Device requires manual intervention.

On a color display, the lines with the ON-AVAIL values are blue, indicating the device is online, and the other lines are white (indicating the devices are offline). Devices that require manual intervention are highlighted in red.
