I'm running BE2012SP4 and I have a HP MSL8096 tape library about half full (46 tapes). On average, it takes 1.5hrs to perform an inventory. Is this normal?
Any way to speed this up? Liek a bar code scan as opposed to loading each tape into a drive to read it?

Hi,
A barcode scan will work and identify what is in the library a lot faster than an Inventory job.
48 tapes will take a while, but on the actual time i'm not sure as this would depend on the hardware etc.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Definition of Inventory job (taken from TECH33576):
An Inventory is the process of mounting media in the drive and reading the media label, which is then displayed in the Devices view.
