Which statement best describes the background audit process that the SL8500 library performs?
A.
The library background audit updates the entire cartridge database during robotic operations
ACSLS and HSC cartridge audit requests will be processed first, and then the library will satisfy
the background audit.
B.
The library will process all audits in the background or the library, never interfering with the
mount or dismount requests. This audit will update the entire cartridge database during robotic
operations.
C.
A background audit updates the entire cartridge database in between robotic operations. If a
particular cartridge has a request pending and that cartridge has not been audited, the SL8500 will
audit the cartridge first and satisfy the request.
D.
A background audit updates the entire cartridge database both during and in between robotic
operations. ACSLS and HSC cartridge audit requests will be processed first, and then the library
will satisfy the background audit.
Explanation:
If an audit must be done after the failover, it is done in the background, while other
jobs are processed. As a result, you may notice that library operations take slightly
longer to perform until the audit is complete. In addition, if a particular request
requires information about a location that has not yet been audited, the location will be
audited first, causing a slight delay in processing the request.
Note:
Entire library audit. The robot visits all cartridge slots (including the CAPs and
drives), catalogs the VOLIDs and locations, and updates the HBC cartridge
database. This audit is a background process and so does not interrupt online
library operations. View the Cartridge Summary Report for the latest cartridge
locations and VOLIDs.
