IBM Magstar 3494 manual Select Reinventory Complete System and continue

Select a type of inventory as follows:

v Inventory new storage (at subsystem installation time)

Note: Selecting inventory new storage causes any cartridges with unreadable

external labels to be ejected.

v Re-inventory the complete system (at any time)

Note: If Virtual Tape Servers are installed, see ªRe-Inventory with Virtual Tape

Serversº on page 174.

Note: If Re-inventory Complete System is selected and there are VTS Import

or Export stacked volumes in the Unassigned, Import, or Export-Hold

categories, then the panel shown in Figure 100 will be displayed and the

operator will not be allowed to continue with the reinventory until the

Import/Export volumes are ejected from the library. The reinventory is

blocked to prevent the possible destruction of important Exported data.

The operator should exit this panel and then select the appropriate

panel(s) under the Commands pulldown under System Management on

the LM Operator Panel and eject the indicated volumes. When all the

Import/Export volumes are removed from the library, the operator can then

select Reinventory Complete System and continue.

Figure 100 shows the Display VTS Export/Import Volumes Window.
