The Inventory/Offline Slots option checks library slots to see if they are occupied, reads the media headers of any media it finds, and then associates the media header of each media with the slot in which it was found. The slot in which each media was found is its home slot. You should use this option to inform the Tape Engine of any alterations made to the media in the library.
After you import media into a library, Arcserve Backup automatically differentiates WORM and non-WORM media in the slots. As such, you do not need to perform a full inventory of the slots after importing media. However, you should perform a full inventory after you install or upgrade Arcserve Backup.
The Inventory Slots option lets you perform the following tasks:
Note: You should only add and remove media when the Tape Engine is running so you can immediately inventory your slots.
