Audit All or Part of the Library

An audit verifies cell contents and updates the library database, which contains the volume ID (volser), current location, and verified status for each tape.

The library automatically performs a full library audit after a front access door closes (excluding the Access Module door when used as a CAP) or after the library initializes (unless you select bypass audit in the library settings).

1. Click Cells/Tapes in the left navigation area of the GUI.
2. From the Actions drop-down (or right-click menu), select Audit.
3. Select the starting and ending address. Select the cell types to audit.

   To run a full library audit, select the following values:

   • Starting Address
     • Column: smallest value available (most likely the most negative value)
     • Side: Back
     • Row: 1
   • Ending Address
     • Column: highest positive value available
     • Side: Front
     • Row: 52
   • Cell Types: All
