The process actually starts before we answer the request, but there is no way to
tell that it is waiting unless you query for requests (or have an administrative
session open in console mode). The request and reply are logged in the activity
log, and we see the completion messages from our checkin libvol process.
6.5 Additional commands
The following sections provide examples of commands directly related to data
storage.
6.5.1 Auditing library contents
The audit library command verifies that the inventory of an automated library is
consistent with the server's inventory for that library. You should audit your
library if someone accidentally or deliberately moves tapes around in their slots,
or inserts or removes volumes without using the correct Tivoli Storage Manager
commands. It is also useful as a general check if you suspect that Tivoli Storage
Manager's own inventory of the tapes does not match the real situation (for
example, if you see messages in the activity log complaining that tapes are not
where they are expected to be). If any inconsistencies are detected, the server
updates its inventory to reflect the current state of the library. Missing volumes
are deleted and moved volumes are updated with their new location. Volumes
that are not part of the server's inventory are not added, they must be checked
in.
The audit library command does not perform any operations until all volumes in
any of the tape drives are dismounted (that is, the drives must be idle). You can
force volume dismounts using the dismount volume command.
By default, audit library mounts each tape and reads the label. If the labels
written on the tapes are the same as the barcodes, you can specify
CHECKLabel=Barcode. The audit process will then read the barcode only,
checking against the server's inventory. Be aware that the audit process can be
time consuming, especially for large-capacity libraries, as it must mount and read
the label on every volume.
