Inventory New Storage or Re-inventory Complete System
The system administrator password typically protects these options. The 3494 Tape
Library can perform the inventory process only under the following conditions:
v The Library Manager is offline and in Auto mode.
v
The Teach process is completed.
v The cleaner volume masks are set (see “Cleaner Volume Masks” on page 322).
v
The volser ranges are set (see “Set the Volser Range” on page 321).
Select a type of inventory as follows:
v
Inventory new storage (at subsystem installation time)
Note: Selecting inventory new storage causes the 3494 Tape Library to eject any
cartridges with unreadable external labels.
v Re-inventory the complete system (at any time)
Note:
1. If VTSs are installed, see “Re-inventory with VTSs” on page 324.
2. If you select the Re-inventory Complete System option and there are
VTS Import or Export Stacked Volumes in the Unassigned, Import, or
Export-Hold categories, then the Display VTS Export/Import Volumes
window (Figure 199 on page 319) opens. You cannot continue with the
re-inventory until you eject the Export and Import volumes. The
re-inventory is blocked to prevent the possible destruction of
important exported data. You should exit this window, then select the
appropriate windows under the Commands window under System
Management in the LM Operator window and eject the indicated
volumes. When you have ejected all Export and Import volumes from
the 3494 Tape Library, you can then select the Re-inventory Complete
System option and continue.
