## 11.3 Web-based Monitoring method 

The TS7700 MI belongs to the family of tools that are used for reporting and monitoring IBM storage products. These tools do not provide reports, but they can be used for online queries about the status of the TS7700, its components, and the distributed libraries. They also provide information about the copies that are not yet completed and the amount of data to be copied. 

The TS7700 MI is based on a web server that is installed in each TS7700. You can access this interface by using a supported web browser. 

For more information about supported browsers, see IBM Knowledge Center. 

The TS7700 MI is a Storage Management Initiative - Specification (SMI-S)-compliant interface that provides you with a single access point to remotely manage resources through a standard web browser. The MI is required for implementation and operational purposes. In a TS7700 configuration, the following web interfaces are available:
