Re: I lost my slot!
There probably is an NT command to do the inventory, but I am not familiar with it. This morning we found that both tape drives had been dropped. Powering off and rebooting now to see if it self 'heals'. -Original Message- From: Joe Pendergast [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 12:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: I lost my slot! On our tape library, we can dedicate one slot for a cleaning tape. It is an option on the tape library.

This will help decide whether it is a library issue or a TSM issue.
