If a cartridge is out of place or unaccounted for by ACSLS:
Perform a physical audit of the SL8500 using the SL Console.
The physical audit of the SL8500 is performed as a background task in between handling mount and other library operation requests.
Caution:
If the SL8500 contents are out of sync with ACSLS due to manual operations such as loading cartridges directly, it is not advisable to attempt continued operations.
If you want to manually add tapes, adding them to a particular LSM within the SL8500 is a better approach. Adding tapes to a particular LSM and auditing only the affected LSM is a quicker and more reliable solution.
You must vary the affected LSM to a diagnostic state to ACSLS while the audit is in process. After the SL8500 library audit is performed, vary the LSM online to ACSLS.
Run an ACSLS audit to update the ACSLS database to match the actual inventory of library cartridges.
