With the OLM option, a user may specify the host name and the library name to verify the integrity of a backup

available only with the OLM module installed, and the OLM daemon job running on the library host machine.
The AUTOREPLY option must be used with the OLM option to coordinate the mounting of the media on the
correct logical device. Only one drive is allowed.
The LABEL and VOLID options are also required to identify each volume to the OLM database and to provide
identifying internal labels for each volume.
At least one volume ID must be provided to perform the READALL command with OLM. If media must be
changed, additional volume IDs must be listed with the VOLID option, or the user will be prompted for a volid.
