Taking Inventory of Devices on Linux and UNIX

After you have configured your devices, use obtool to take inventory of the volumes in your tape library.

Note:

You can also perform this task with the Oracle Secure Backup Web tool. See the Oracle Secure Backup Administrator's Guide for more information.

This example assumes that your devices have been named tc-lib (a library) and tc-tape (a tape drive) as described in "Configuring Devices on Linux and UNIX with obtool".

Run the inventory command in obtool, specifying the name of the library of which you are taking inventory. This causes Oracle Secure Backup to actually inventory the device. For example:
```
ob> inventory -L tc-lib
```

To view the inventory information for the library, use the lsvol command in obtool. For example:

ob> lsvol -L tc-lib

The command generates the following output:

Inventory of library tc-lib:
