Re: Ejecting tapes from StorageTek L700 tape Library
Is your library defined as SCSI or as an ACS library (using the STK ACSLS software). -Original Message- From: Chuck Lam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 5:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Ejecting tapes from StorageTek L700 tape Library I am trying to get StorageTek L700 tape library to work on a newly configured TSM4.1 running on AIX4.3.3. In the morning, I backup the tapepool to a copypool called drmpool. As the result, I have a few tapes sitting in the 'drmpool' every morning. My intention is to eject those tapes to the 20-slot I/O ports in one command and send them offsite for DR purpose. Using the 'move drmedia' command, no matter what 'remove' option I tried, I could only eject one tape to top most slot, as if TSM does not know about other 19 slots. Did I miss something in configuring the Tape Library? Are there any ways to eject those tape in one command? TIA __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Re: Ejecting tapes from StorageTek L700 tape Library
On the move drmedia command, use the remove=BULK operand if you want to use all 20 slots of the library.

Re: Ejecting tapes from StorageTek L700 tape Library
Sorry - I hit send before finishing the post I have seen this work on an STK L700 library if you use the REMOVE=BULK operand. I can check our library configuration to see if there is something special you need to set to make this work correctly.
