Inventory all tiers
Starts an inventory scan of cartridge bar codes on all cartridges in all tiers of the library or a specified frame. Use this option when a full library inventory is required. This option is concurrent and can take many hours depending on the number of cartridges in the library.
An inventory operation includes a check to determine whether each cartridge storage slot in the library is empty or full and a scan of the bar code labels. You can run an inventory on a single library frame or on an entire library.
The library occasionally runs automatic inventories. However, if an automatic inventory of the media was inconsistent, you might need to run a manual inventory by using this task to reconcile an inconsistency. Similarly, you might need to start a manual inventory if the host application software indicates that there is a problem with the library inventory.
