As the library imports magazines, it reads the barcode labels on the
individual cartridges and the magazines and automatically updates the
physical inventory that it maintains. This process does not automatically
update the media inventory maintained and used by the storage
management software.
The storage management software maintains its own media inventory,
which it uses when performing backup/restore operations and for media
management. To avoid errors when the storage management software
requests a specific cartridge, be sure to use your storage management
software to update its media inventory whenever you import cartridges
into or export/exchange cartridges from a storage partition's storage pool
as described in this chapter. Refer to your software documentation for
more information.
