All depends on your type of library !
IBM 3494-L12
To get the atl to actually scan the barcodes of the tapes you must go to the
operator console and do a
command, inventory, inventory update full
or something close to that (changes across levels of the library manager
code)
then inside tsm an audit library checklabel=barcode only checks against the
library manager's data base.

Not true.......
With checklabel=barcode, all of the barcodes are read. This is then checked
with the internal memory of the library as to what the library's inventory
says is where. The tape is mounted, only if the barcode is mis-read.

So checklabel=barcode doesn't really mean read the barcodes? It just
means check the library's internal memory? I guess that's still
useful in some circumstances, if there'e a possibility that TSM and
the library have gotten out of sync.
But it would be nice if things mean what they say. Suppose I really
want it to read the barcodes? Suppose I think the library's internal
memory has gotten confused somehow, and I want to do a physical
audit of barcode locations to compare with the internal memory? Is
this possible? Or is it a function of the library (which I guess
might make more sense).

But how can it have a problem reading the barcode label if check-=b
doesn't even try to read the labels?
