Normal Operation
In general, a comparison is made between the VolServ database
and the actual media inventory when an Audit command is
executed. The automated archive robot or the manual archive
AO inventories the media. The result of this audit is sent to
VolServ, which compares the actual and logical inventory.
No action is taken when the inventory matches the VolServ
database. However, human intervention is necessary to resolve
some archive discrepancies. For example, an AO may find a
medium during an manual archive audit that is not contained in
the VolServ database listing. The SA must determine whether
this medium belongs in the manual archive. If it does, the
Import command is executed by the SA, followed by an enter
action by the AO.
The Audit command is available via the CLI and API, and also
using the AUDIT option of an archive Console.
