Viewing cloud server status

When you choose Option 2, Cloud Servers Status, on the Main Menu, the Cloud Server Status screen appears. It lists all of the cloud servers that are defined for use by Cloud Tape Connector and their connection status.

If there is an issue connecting with a server, an error message will be displayed. An example of the Cloud Server Status screen is shown below

Note: For information on how to define a cloud server, refer to Create a cloud server definition.
