I think your second step is in error - a tape in a drive doesn't update
the vmquery slot number.
I'd do something like this...
for tape in `vmquery -rn 0 -l | awk '$11~/Offsite/ {print $1}`
do
eject routine (lots of lines)
done
I actually do something much like this for offsite purposes. My
eject_tapes script is 60 lines of code that looks up the library for a
tape given the tape number. If the tape is in a drive, though, it just
errors . I supposed I could query the library controls for the tape
location (see if it's in a drive) but right now I just eat the error
when it occurs.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] quick eject script
Does anyone have a quick eject script the logic of which goes something
like this:
1. Eject any tapes in the OFFSITE volume pool if it is in the tape
library
2. Ignore tapes in a drive (vmquery slot number =0)
3. And email the list of tapes to me with a report title and
today's date
Is there anything quick and easy out there like that?
Appreciate your help.
