Auditing the Library

Perform an audit, if:

  • This is a new library.

  • One or more modules have been added, removed, or swapped.

  • Cartridges have been manually added or removed through the mailslot.

  • After library configuration settings have changed.

A self-audit of the library occurs when you:

  • Power-on or re-initialize the library.

  • Open and close the mailslot.

After the self-audit is complete, you must update your database using ACSLS.

When this is a new library

A new library must be audited to synchronize the actual contents of the library with the database.

After adding, removing, or swapping modules

After an SL150 module has been added, removed, swapped, or if you are auditing the library for the first time, perform the following steps:

  1. Vary the SL150 library offline to ACSLS and power down the library.
  2. Perform the library change, such as adding a module.
  3. Power on or re-initialize the SL150 library.
  4. Terminate ACSLS (if it is running) by using the following command:
    acsss disable
  5. Run acsss_config.
  6. Start up ACSLS by using the following command:
    acsss enable
  7. Perform an audit of the SL150 panel(s) affected.

After Manually Adding or Removing Cartridges Through the Mailslot

If you have manually added or removed cartridges from the LSM through the library mailslot, you must synchronize the databases. Perform an audit as described under query pool.

If you have entered or ejected cartridges from the LSM through the mailslot using the ACSLS cmd_proc, the database is automatically updated.

After Changing Library Configuration Settings

If you have changed library configuration settings, you should reconfigure ACSLS using acsss_config, and then audit the library. You should also reconfigure and audit the library after changing the number of reserved cells

Follow these steps:

  1. Vary the SL150 library offline to ACSLS, and power down the library.
  2. Perform the library change.
  3. Re-initialize the SL150 library.
  4. Terminate ACSLS (if it is running) by using the following command:
    acsss disable
  5. Run acsss_config.
  6. Start up ACSLS by using the following command:
    acsss enable
  7. Perform an audit of the SL150 panel(s) affected.
