Chris, The commodity and storage arrangement (length, height, single, double, etc) would need to be evaluated. Next the sprinkler system would need to be hydraulically evaluated. At that point, you can determine if in rack sprinklers are required.
One independent rack can be sprinklered and it could possible be fed from the ceiling system. However, your post stated that this occurred in "a few areas". That needs to be better defined. The issue on type of inspection has been well covered by others and I won't chime in on that.
