As you are aware, your 3575 goes through "initialize element status" when the door is opened or it is powered on. This means that the library does a self audit and holds the info regarding which volsers relate to which elements (slots). When you do a checklabel=barcode during your audit, the info is stored on a chip in the library and TSM reads this. There is no flapping around of the robot at that time.

The only way I can get a true audit is to omit the checklabel, which forces tape mounts, which takes a long time to complete the audit as you'd imagine as it reads off each tape label. This occurs on both libraries. Command: audit library LIBRARYNAME checklabel=barcode Why is this so?
