What is the -E arugment used for in the command nsrjb -HEvvv.  I know the -H is 
the reset command, save as within the GUI.  The command reference guide states 
this for the -E argument: 

-E Initializes element status for jukeboxes that support this feature. You can 
use this option in conjunction with the -I or -H options. Some jukeboxes have 
the ability to keep track of whether or not there is media in a component in 
the jukebox. This feature is known as an "element status" capability. The -V 
option may be used to determine whether a jukebox has this capability. When 
swapping media into the jukebox where media was not previously loaded, it may 
be EMC NetWorker 7.4 Serice Pack 1 Command Reference Guide 9 NSRJB(1m) 
necessary to reinventory ( -I ) the jukebox with the -E option so the jukebox 
reinitializes its element status.

I guess what I am really asking is, what is element status?  Can I see this 
within the GUI?
