You can now audit any volume in a tape library by using the AUDIT LIBVOLUME command, which is available in Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 7.1.1 for some library types and tape drives. When this command is issued, an entire physical tape volume is audited instead of just a storage pool volume.
With the AUDIT LIBVOLUME command, you can determine if a volume is intact. The verification process is completed by the tape drive. If errors are detected, you can use the AUDIT VOLUME command to fix storage pool volumes on the tape.
For information about supported library types and drives, and details on using the AUDIT LIBVOLUME command, see the server reference information.
