Re: To Audit or Not to Audit.......that is the question !

Hi Zoltan!
You should run a AUDIT LIBR 3494ATL CHECKL=B which runs in less than a
minute. I can be cancelled and it will not resume.
Auditing a 3494 causes TSM to re-synchronize it's inventory with the
library's inventory. When you add the CHECKL=B parameter, no tapes will be
mounted, unless a barcode is unreadable.
Kindest regards,

Subject: To Audit or Not to Audit.......that is the question !


We recently had some connectivity issues between our 3494 ATL and the TSM
AIX 5.2.1.3 server.

After numerous failures, the TSM server issued the message:  5/13/2004
4:00:08 PM ANR8358E Audit operation is required for library 3494ATL.

So, the question is, do I really need to run this AUDIT LIBRARY ?

How long will the AUDIT take ?  There are +700 volumes in the library !

Can the AUDIT be canceled ?   Resumed ?

What does the AUDIT really do ?  Does it scan all tapes ?  Does it MOUNT
all of the tape ?

Inquiring minds want to know !!!!!!!!!
