Goal

How long does an ACSLS audit take?
Will an audit rescan the entire library?

Solution

New libraries will not rescan the hardware and physically look at each individual tape, they only verify what the library has in memory. Older libraries will check what is physically in the library. The table below is a table that can be found in the ACSLS manual showing what average audit times are.

 

LSM Type	Component	Average Audit Time (Best and Worse)
4410	LSM	3 - 8 hours
9310/L5500	LSM	1.2 - 6 hours
9360	LSM	5 minutes
97xx/L700/180	LSM	1 minute
SL500	LSM	3 minutes
SL8500	LSM	5 minutes
SL3000	LSM	5 minutes
