Non-blocking Storage Protect server audit library

Today, when a Storage Protect server requires  to run AUDIT LIBRARY on a SCSI library, all Storage Protect server activities on that SCSI library needs to be stopped. Means, processes and sessions already using the SCSI library its tape drives need to be stopped and their mounted tape volumes must be dismounted. In addition, new mounts need to be prevented, which for example can be achieved by setting the library device class mountlimit to zero. The caveat of setting mountlimit to zero will be that new incoming mount requests will fail and not wait. 

For large inventory SCSI libraries and virtual libraries shared by multiple Storage Protect servers it is nearly impossible to find a not disruptive time window to run Storage Protect AUDIT LIBRARY.

We request, that a Storage Protect server will allow to run AUDIT LIBRARY on a SCSI library while the SCSI library is in use.
For example, AUDIT LIBRARY should include

• lock library activities
• prevent new mounts without letting them fail; new incoming mounts should be queued until AUDIT LIBRARY is finished
• wait for existing mounts to dismount; an AUDIT LIBRARY option may allow the administrator to decide to wait or to cancel processes/ sessions and force dismounts
• run AUDIT LIBRARY
• unlock library activities

Another option would be to have the Storage Protect server running a required AUDIT LIBRARY automatically at a time of no library activity, at time no cartridge will be mounted in the drives.
