Save Logical Volumes

When a complete inventory is requested and the library contains a VTS, the
operator is prompted to save the logical volumes. Answering Yes will save the
logical volumes. They will not need to be reinserted after the inventory completes.
Answering No will erase all the logical volumes. The logical volumes must be
reinserted after the inventory completes.

Set the Volser Range

When selecting a type of inventory, an option is presented to set the volser ranges.
See Figure 102 for information on how to set the volser range.
