It actually "reads" the memory on the library as to the tape inventory.
I have 3575-L32 and 3584-L32, works same with both.  To really "force"
barcode read you have to have library itself do an inventory, then run
auidit again with checklabel=barcode.  I find the great majority of the
time just the audit is o.k. as library memory is generally correct.

Hi All,

Why when I perform the following:

audit library LIBRARYNAME checklabel=barcode, it does not appear to do an
actual scan using the barcode
reader at all. The only way I can get a true audit is to omit the
checklabel, which forces tape mounts, which
takes a long time to complete the audit as you'd imagine as it reads off
each tape label. This occurs on both
libraries.

Command:

audit library LIBRARYNAME checklabel=barcode

Why is this so?
