How to Inventory Tapes
The purpose of inventory is to identify new tapes and recognize tapes DPM has seen before.
A fast inventory involves reading the bar code of each tape in the library. DPM can perform a fast
inventory for tapes that have bar codes in a tape library that has a bar code reader.
A detailed inventory involves reading the header area of a tape in the library to identify the on-
media ID (OMID) on each tape. DPM must perform a detailed inventory when a tape does not
have a bar code or the tape library does not have a bar code reader.
A fast inventory detects any tape (with or without a bar code) in any library. However, to uniquely
identify the media, perform a detailed inventory.
Note
If a cleaning tape does not have a bar code or the bar code does not start with "CLN" is
added to the library, and you run a detailed inventory before you mark the tape as a
cleaning tape and run a fast inventory, a cleaning job will start when DPM mounts this
tape during the detailed inventory.
To inventory tapes in a library
1. In DPM Administrator Console, click Management on the navigation bar.
2. Click the Libraries tab, and then select a library.
3. In the Actions pane, click Inventory.
4. In the Inventory dialog box, select Fast inventory or Detailed inventory, and then
click Start.
If the tape does not have a bar code or the tape library does not have a bar code reader,
the fast inventory option is disabled.
