You must define the stand alone drives as a being in a Manual Tape Library. This is done in the HCD, which creates the IODF. Once you have that done, you can use the MTL as if it were a robot tape library (with a person being the "robot"). You'd assign the MTL library id to a Tape Library defined in SMS. That's a brief overview as I've not done it, personally. But it is much like an ATL (automated tape library). -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
