I have a weird situation taking place. I believe there are two distinct issues 
but they might be related.  A gripper issue caused a few tapes to be mishandled 
and dropped into the library. I ended up checking them out but cannot fix these 
issues:

When I run a "show slots 3584lib" there are two anomalies:
Slot 330, status Allocated, element number 1355, barcode not present, barcode 
value <>, devT=ANY, mediaT=-1, elemT=ANY Slot 408, status Allocated, element 
number 1433, barcode not present, barcode value <>, devT=LTO, mediaT=417, 
elemT=ANY

When I log onto the 3584 library web console and display data cartridges I 
cannot locate those elements or verify that there are tapes really at those 
locations.

If I run a library Audit it fails with a tape device error as it is apparently 
attempting to load those "tapes" to verify the label.  However the tape library 
itself never attempts to mount a tape as I think it knows there aren't any 
tapes at those locations.

How can I fix this issue?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) In the 3584 web interface, run an INVENTORY (not with audit) against all 
frames.  That will cause the library to rescan the barcodes.  The library's 
3584 on-board inventory will then be correct.

b) In TSM, run:  audit library yourlibnamehere checklabel=barcode

That causes TSM to upload the inventory from the 3584, so its inventory will 
match the 3584's, without loading the tapes to read the internal label.
- the TSM audit will not run if there are other tape processes running
-any tapes that were checked in to TSM but are not actually in the library will 
be automatically checked out
-tapes that are in the library but are not checked in to TSM will NOT 
automatically be checked in, so you may also need:
1) checkin libv yourlibnamehere search=yes status=scratch checklabel=barcode 
wait=0
2) checkin libv yourlibnamehere search=yes status=private checklabel=barcode 
wait=0
