StorageTek 6 manual Audit, EMPTYCel, DIAGScan, Notes, Only, Also

Audit

Note: If a CAP is not specified, a CAP in the identified ACS is selected based on the CAPPref operator command (refer to the ‘‘CAP Preference (CAPPref) Command and Control Statement’’ in the HSC Operator’s Guide).

Multi-ACS audits cannot specify the CAP parameter. A CAP is chosen for each ACS based upon CAP preference values.

EMPTYCel

optionally specifies that only empty cells are to be audited. This parameter can be used in combination with all other AUDIt parameters except DIAGScan(ONLY).

The main benefit provided by auditing only empty cells is reducing the time required to run an audit.

Note: StorageTek does not recommend running an empty cell audit on an SL8500 library because the time to run the audit will not be substantially reduced.

Typically, users will want to specify this parameter when:

•they have entered an LSM and placed new cartridges in empty cells, or

•they need to correct cartridge location information for library volumes that have been manually moved to empty cells.

In either case, if APPLy(YES) is specified, the CDS is updated to reflect that these cells are no longer empty.

Caution: In some cases, running an empty cell only audit may compromise the accuracy of the audit.

DIAGScan

optionally specifies that diagnostic cells are to be scanned. The HSC scans these cells one at a time and displays the contents of each cell in the AUDIt utility report.

Notes:

1.DIAGScan is mutually exclusive with the ROW and COLumn parameters. It can be used in combination with all other AUDIt parameters.

2.Cartridge movement between diagnostic cells and regular storage or CAP cells is not supported by the LMU, so diagnostic cell contents can only be reported.

ONLY

specifies that only diagnostic cells should be scanned. This parameter cannot

be specified in combination with the EMPTYCel parameter.

ALSO

specifies that diagnostic cells should also be scanned along with the normal AUDIt utility operations.
