SYNCTABLE 

Syntax 

SYNCTABLE {[LDEV=]moldev}

Parameters 

          LDEV         Specifies the LDEV number of the optical disk
                     drive associated with the unit to be synchronized.
                     The number assigned as the LDEV can range from 2 to
                     32767.

Description 

The SYNCTABLE command only synchronizes storage slots that contain media
that are not reserved.  The Media Manager can then determine the
characteristics of a piece of media, such as whether it has been
scratched or whether it has a valid media name.

You do not have to enter the SYNCTABLE command if you are removing or
inserting media when using STORE/iX II. If STORE/iX II runs out of media
to process in the Model 20GB/A, it prompts you to insert media through
the mail slot.  In this case, you do not have to unlock the device nor
enter the SYNCTABLE command.

When you execute SYNCTABLE, the command displays the following message:

     *Note: MOUTIL is synchronizing the Optical Disk Library System tables.
     *Note: Each media storage slot requires up to 1 1/2 minutes to synchronize.
     *Note: There are "xx" media storage slots requiring synchronization.

Note that this command may require approximately 45 minutes to execute
for a Model 20GB/A if all slots need to be synchronized.
