The suspect count is a means by which StorNext Storage Manager

If you select this policy, a tape will be queued for EDLM testing when its
suspect count threshold is reached. If the EDLM test indicates the tape is

continue to use the tape. For more information on suspect counts and
resetting suspect counts, refer to your StorNext application's
documentation.

might want to do this if you suspect a problem (for example, if it seems
that too many tapes are being scanned, and library operations are being
affected).
