Auditing the Library
An audit verifies cartridge locations and updates the library database, which contains
the volume ID, current location, and verified status for each cartridge.
The library automatically performs an audit after an access door closes or after the
library initializes.

Performing a Physical Audit of the Entire Library
For an entire library audit, the robot visits all slots (storage, CAP, drive, reserved),
updates the cartridge database, and changes the "verified" status of cartridge locations
to
true
.
Do not run this audit during peak activity periods (see "Effects of an Entire Library
Audit" below). The audit takes approximately 0.5 seconds per cartridge slot.
1. In SLC, select Tools > Diagnostics.
2. Select the Library in the device tree.
3. Click the Audit tab.
4. Select Yes for Entire Library (select No for Physical Audit and Verified Audit).
5. Click Audit.
Note: Initiating an audit from SLC only updates the library database.
To update the host database, you must initiate an audit from the host.
Note: You cannot stop a physical audit after it begins.
