Checking the Media Status 

You can display status information on the magneto-optical drives and on
each disk surface currently loaded by using the STATUS command of MOUTIL.

To verify the status of the media:

   1.  Run MOUTIL by entering MOUTIL at the system prompt.  For example:

               :MOUTIL 

   2.  Enter the STATUS command at the MOUTIL prompt.  For example:

               moutil: STATUS LDEV=101 

The status display identifies the volume set names and media names of
each disk surface currently loaded in each storage slot.  The status
information is displayed in the format illustrated in Figure 2-5 .  If
media has been pre-erased by the SCRATCH or INITMO commands, the notation
"pre-erased" will also be displayed.

A media storage slot may be labeled Occupied with Unknown Media under the
following conditions:

   1.  Media currently occupies a previously empty media storage slot.

   2.  Media has not been removed from a media storage slot which was
       previously released with the UNLOAD command.


NOTE The STATUS command displays what is currently in the media manager software table. If you have loaded or unloaded media and have not synchronized the software table, the status display will not be valid. If the STATUS command is entered while the software tables are being synchronized, the following message will precede the status display: *Note: The Optical Disk Library System is currently being synchronized. *Note: The following status information may not be current.
