With regard to the command you are thinking of - there is "vmphyinv" that will 
mount each tape in turn and read the header, but this is only present in the 
Feature Pack (FP) versions of 4.5. Takes a while too!

I have NB 4.5 MP5 installed with a ADIC Faststor library WITHOUT barcode 
reader. How do i inventory the library with new tapes. The library has 7 
slots. When i fill them for the first time and i run an invenontory they get 
labled like A00001 and A00002 and so on. Then when i remove the 7 tapes and 
put 7 new tapes in i need to inventory the robot. When i do this i get the 
message that the volume database is up to date. I think i have to give a 
command that will load all the tapes 1 by one to update the library but i 
don't know how?
