You may wish to evaluate media outside of the automatic EDLM
8
scanning policies. To do this, you can run a manual EDLM scan. Manual
scans are given highest priority and go to the top of the scanning queue.
As soon as an EDLM scanning drive has finished its current scan, it will
accept the tape scheduled for a manual scan. Once all manual scans are
finished, the scan queue continues as normal.
Manual EDLM scans can be run on any tape in the library, as long the
following conditions are met:
• An EDLM license must be installed on the library.
• The EDLM library managed partition must be configured on the
library (see
page 218).
• The cartridge you want to scan must be readable by a tape drive in
the EDLM library managed partition per standard LTO-gen-based
backwards-compatibility limitations.
• The cartridge you want to scan must be labeled properly. Unlabeled
media cannot be selected for manual scans.
• The cartridge can be located in any partition, including the EDLM
library managed partition. However, the cartridge must not be
located in an EDLM drive.
• If a tape is currently being scanned, you cannot select it for manual
scanning.
To run a manual EDLM test, do the following:
1 Log on as an administrator.
2 Select Tools > EDLM > Test Selection.
The Tools - EDLM Test Selection screen appears.
