Tapes are normally inspected automatically by the system. If you use the tape library's user
interface to move a tape cartridge in a partition associated with a BlackPearl system, the
tape may transition to the Pending Inspection state (see
) and become
unusable by the system. To return the cartridge to a usable state, manually request an
inspection of the cartridge.
Use the instructions in this section to inspect a tape.
1.
From the menu bar, select
Status > Tape Management
. The Tape Management screen
displays. Any tapes requiring inspection display a state of Pending Inspection on the
Tape Management screen.
