Auditing The Library; Performing A Physical Audit Of The Entire Library - Oracle StorageTek SL3000 Manual

An audit verifies cartridge locations and updates the library database, which contains
the volume ID, current location, and verified status for each cartridge.
The library automatically performs an audit after an access door closes or after the
library initializes.

Performing a Physical Audit of the Entire Library
For an entire library audit, the robot visits all slots (storage, CAP, drive, reserved),
updates the cartridge database, and changes the "verified" status of a cartridge to true.
Although the audit is a background process, it does require sharing of robot resources.
Do not run this audit during peak activity periods. The audit takes approximately 0.5
seconds per cartridge slot.
In SLC, select Tools > Diagnostics.
