Standard Audit

During a Standard Audit, VolServ commands the robot to look

 

into each specified bin and to read the external label on any

 

medium present. Thus, the actual content of each bin is

 

compared against the VolServ database. Depending on the

 

number of bins to audit, a Standard Audit can take a long time

 

to complete.

 

There are archive-dependent differences that exist in the way a

 

Standard Audit is performed.

 

The DataTower archive provides the most autonomous Standard

 

Audit capability of all supported archives. When a Standard

 

Audit command is sent, the archive commands a robot to scan

 

each bin for media, builds a list of media found, and performs a

 

set of synchronizing operations to update its own database.

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

When audited, the entire DataTower archive is scanned.

 

 

 

 

 

The archives send the list of media found with the results of

 

their own database synchronization actions to the VolServ host

 

computer. For the DataTower archive, a list of mounted media is

 

also appended to the list of media found. VolServ software then

 

performs its own set of synchronizing operations.

 

VolServ software performs two operations whenever a

 

StorageTek ACS product family Standard Audit is requested.

 

The archives send the cumulative discrepancy report that is used

 

by VolServ software to update its database. VolServ then sends

 

a request for a total inventory list (for example, a remap

 

operation). This information is used to update the VolServ

 

database, if necessary. That is, a Standard Audit command

 

results in a discrepancy report and a map list for use by VolServ

 

software.
