Creating and Printing a Log

Disk file inventories are not created for LDA devices. The inventory for these is made on-the-fly.

The Inventory command is invoked when there is no tape log or when the tape log becomes damaged. If the latter case, the Archive ID field displays Incomplete Log.

For optical disks, logs are created automatically when a disk is mounted.

Printing is done on a text printer rather than a color printer, depending on how the system manager has configured your system. A tape does not need to be mounted to print the tape log.
