Re-inventory with VTSs:
Before selecting the Re-inventory complete system option, you must return VTS
stacked volumes mounted on 3590 tape drives associated with the VTS to 3494
Tape Library storage cells (this is done by taking the VTS offline, which causes the
VTS to unload the drives). Do this by setting the VTSs to the Offline state before
setting the 3494 Tape Library to the Offline state.
To prepare for Re-inventory complete system , perform the following steps:
1. All logical libraries (VTSs and non-VTS logical libraries, if any) must be varied
offline at the attaching hosts.
2. Select the Service menu... option on the Mode menu to allow access to
additional service functions.
3. In the Service window (Figure 206 on page 326), select the VTS subsystem
management option, then select the Online/Offline... option to display the VTS
Online/Offline window (Figure 207 on page 327).
