Try increasing the mount retention parameter on your device class.  I
don't think it'll affect the behavior after a label operation though.

Subject: How to stop tape from being ejected?

Hello,

I'm running tsm 5.1 on sun solaris 8 with a DDS4 tape drive.

After any tape operation such as labeling a tape or a backup the tape is
ejected, and I have to go back to the server room to put the tape back
in.

Anyway to configure the software to stop ejecting the tape?


Thanks

Thanks Mark and Ted

Increasing the retention setting worked.

Steve,

Try setting your MountRetention setting for the devclass to a high value.
