Solution is to open doors on each frame, that will cause entire library to be 
inventoried.

Simple if you have just 2 or 3 frames!

If you open the door in paused mode yes, it will inventory the frame with the 
door you opened.
But not the other frames (if you have other frames).

. o 0 (why must I be onsite to do this?)

I had thought opening the door of the 3584lib in paused mode would have caused 
a quick re-inventory?  I opened to see if any tapes didn't have a label 
somehow. Maybe the barcode scan it did after the door was closed isn't for 
inventory purposes? 

I'll run the inventory command run from the console and then hopefully the 
audit will succeed and do what you mentioned  below.

Thanks,

Bob

Answers in line below...

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
