I would also be interested in seeing any such scripts, and I'll bet a
bunch of other people would, too. Anybody who has scripts to share,
please either send them to me also, or post them to the list. Thanks.
Getting tapes out seems fairly easy. Getting them back in is a
little bit trickier. Some of the issues that concern me:
Before I can check a tape back in, (I think) I have to change its
status to ONSITERETRIEVE. This effectively deletes the tape from the
database. It looks like it would be easy for things to fall through
the cracks here; if I automate the process of setting tapes to
ONSITERETRIEVE, and then for some reason a tape doesn't get checked
back in, it logically disappears. I'd prefer to see it remain
visible in some kind of limbo status that would attract attention.
Checking tapes in requires System or Unrestricted Storage authority.
That seems like a pretty high level of authority to give to an
operator whose job is mainly to shuffle tapes.
(I asked our local IBM TSM expert for advice, and he told me to ask
other customers).
