thats it, THANKS A LOT !!! it never crossed my mind that there is tapeutil for HPUX :-) the HPUX admins were telling me mc and mt are cool commands ... yeah right ! thanks again, now i have something to show to my bosses ... hehe seeya - Original Message - From: "Warren, Matthew (Retail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 1:33 PM Subject: Re: hi all / sta problem / i'm going nuts On HPUX The tapeutil command can be used to determine the serial numbers of drives visible through the /dev/ special files on the storage agent.

When all else fails, read the IBM documentation. :-) The manual "IBM Ultrium Device Drivers Installation and User’s Guide" is an essential reference for implementing such libraries, and describes tapeutil for HP-UX.
