Our high-capacity tape drives (STK 9840's) are all in silos. Our system with the largest real storage doesn't have 9840's available, and one other system doesn't share its silo, so if it's down, there's no way to get a tape mounted. Tape Operations doesn't want to open the door and mount tapes manually. The good news for some of our systems is that even though 9840 isn't a supported device type for Standalone Dump, SAD can be generated for 3590's, and 9840's are close enough that they will work. Dennis There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those that understand binary and those that don't.
