Update Media Health After a Bulk Load
After bulk loading tapes, Media Health for many cartridges will be listed as "Unknown".
The library assesses each tape and updates the Media Health state whenever the
cartridge mounts a drive. As the library mounts cartridges during the course of routine
operations, the library progressively updates the Media Health property, replacing the
"Unknown" values.
To force an immediate update of an individual cartridge, take the library offline and
mount the cartridge.
