Stop the Discovery Process

If for some reason you need to interrupt the discovery process before it is
complete, click Stop Discovery on the Media Lifecycle Management Tools
screen. The library completes any Media Auto Discovery or PreScan
operations that are in progress and returns the cartridges to their slots.
To resume the discovery process, repeat the steps in Discover Cartridges
Manually on page 264 or wait until you import additional cartridges into
the partition to trigger the discovery process automatically.

Overview The MLM PreScan feature is a background process that replaces
the default Media Auto Discovery process in partitions where it is enabled;
unlike Media Auto Discovery it does not operate globally. PreScan is
enabled when you configure the partition (see Enable and Configure MLM
PreScan and PostScan on page 180).
PreScan provides verification of data cartridges by performing a basic
functionality test and health check on each imported cartridge. As a part of
the PreScan process, any cartridges that are not already in the MLM
database are added to the MLM database.
During the PreScan process, the library automatically inserts each
cartridge into a drive assigned to the partition. The drive loads the
cartridge and checks it to determine whether it has any of the following
characteristics:
 Non‐MLM‐enabled
 Broken or dislodged leader
 Red media health
 Write protected
 Encrypted tape with a moniker not currently stored in the library
