1. A computer program product for managing disk drive media (DDM) failures, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- store, by the processor, information relating to DDM failures in a data repository by at least one of;
creating data entries comprising the information relating to the DDM failures in the data repository, andupdating existing data entries in the data repository with the information relating to the DDM failures; and
analyze, by the processor, information relating to the DDM failures and stored in the data repository to identify problems in an installed base of DDM, the analysis comprising analyzing comparative DDM failure data.
