Ok, so I can use "update slots" on an autochanger where barcode reader
and barcode labels are available; whenever the former or the latter is
missing I had to launch a full inventory of the library with "update
slots scan".
I guess the best practice is to label all the available volumes and then
run a full inventory as a starting point.
Thanks a lot!
