Abstract
Determining efficiently whether it is necessary to re-inventory a storage media library, such as a tape library, is disclosed. It is determined whether a first number computed based at least in part on at least a portion of a new inventory data is the same as a second number computed based at least in part on a corresponding stored inventory data. An update of the stored inventory data is initiated if it is determined that the first number is not the same as the second number.
