Table 1 shows how REMAP resolves various discrepancies.

Table 1. Discrepancies REMAP resolves between the outboard inventory and the OAM configuration database
Cause Resolution
A cartridge has a media error. Possible causes are damaged media, the volume is a duplicate, or the cartridge is unformatted. The cartridge is ejected from the optical library to allow it to be inspected.
The row in the volume table in the OCDB indicates the volume should be in another real optical library. The volume is ejected from this library.
The paired volumes of a cartridge do not match the paired volumes in the OCDB. The cartridge is ejected.
A volume physically resides in the library, but no row for that volume is found in the OCDB. The cartridge is ejected.
The row in the volume table in the OCDB indicates the volume is on the shelf, but is physically residing in the library. The volume location is changed to state the volume is residing in the library. The library name also is corrected if it differs from the library in which the volume resides.
The OCDB has a row for the volume but the outboard inventory does not have the corresponding volume. The volume is lost. The VOLUME ERROR STATUS column for the volume is updated to say "LOST VOLUME". The volume is given a pseudo library name. The volume location is changed to "SHELF".
The volume media type in the OCDB is not compatible with the library device type. The media type is corrected.
