samcmd audit -e / auditslot -e doesn't work correctly
Hi SAM/OHSM crew.
Hope everyone is well.
For as long as I can remember, there was some functionality inside StorageTek SAM that did an EOD/EOV seek on tape media and would update the media utilisation once it was finished.
This could be issued as:
auditslot eq:slot
Or
samcmd audit –e eq:slot
I’ve now tried it on a piece of tape media that is incorrectly reporting 0% capacity utilisation (not an uncommon problem on a crash I suppose, or a situation where media utilisation statistics are lost) and all it seems to do is seek for a few mins and then flag the media “E” in error state.
