Inventory times
This section describes inventory times for frames in the TS3500 Tape Library and inventory
with audit times for HD frames.
The typical time required for the TS3500 Tape Library to inventory cartridges is less than 60
seconds per frame.
An inventory operation includes a check to determine whether each cartridge storage slot in
the library is empty or full, and a scan of the bar code labels. An inventory occurs whenever
you:
•
Power on the TS3500 Tape Library
•
Issue the SCSI Initialize Element Status with Range command
•
Select the appropriate menu options from the Tape Library Specialist Web interface
•
Select Inventory from the Manual Operations menu on the library's operator panel
•
Close the front door after manually accessing the inventory
Note:
The TS3500 Tape Library tracks the logical location of all of its elements by
performing an automatic inventory as required (if you issue the SCSI Initialize Element
Status command, it is allowed but ignored). The automatic inventory improves application
performance.
