Purpose
Use the inventory
command to initiate a scan of the contents of a library.
Oracle Secure Backup does not automatically detect changes to a library that result from manual actions such as opening the library door to move or remove a tape. Use the inventory
command in such circumstances to make the library detect the changes.

command.
Syntax
inventory::=
inv•entory [ --library/-L libraryname | --drive/-D drivename ] [ --force/-f ]
Semantics
Specifies the name of the library for which you want to update the inventory.
If you do not specify --library
or --drive
, then Oracle Secure Backup uses the value of the library or drive variable. Oracle Secure Backup issues a warning if it can obtain neither the library nor drive setting.
Specifies the name of a tape drive in the library for which you want to update the inventory.
If you do not specify --library
or --drive
, then Oracle Secure Backup uses the value of the library or drive variable. Oracle Secure Backup issues a warning if it can obtain neither the library nor drive setting.
Forces the library to perform a physical inventory of the library. Instead of reading from its cache, the library updates the inventory by physically scanning all library elements.
Example
Example 2-41 forces the library lib1
to perform an inventory operation. Note that the sample output has been reformatted so that it fits on the page.
