With checklabel=barcode, what happens is that TSM reads the internal memory of the library as to what the library's inventory says is where. So generally that won't take long. And a drive needs to be available for the case where library had a problem reading a barcode label, that tape can be mounted in a tape drive to verify - even if using checkl=b.

We have a 3584 library connected to TSM 4.2.2.0 on Solaris. Audit Library LibName CheckLabel=BARCODE completes in a few seconds, with no movement of the library robotics. It doesn't appear to be checking any barcodes at all. I haven't tried it with CHecklabel=Yes yet. -- Matt Simpson -- OS/390 Support 219 McVey Hall -- (859) 257-2900 x300 University Of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506 <mailto:msimpson@;uky.edu> mainframe -- An obsolete device still used by thousands of obsolete companies serving billions of obsolete customers and making huge obsolete profits for their obsolete shareholders.
