That is a very good question, sinbce I don't have DRM (or at least I didn't
buy it so I am not using it). Could you give me an exemple of how your
script pulls a list a tapes to be checked out? I am new to TSM and finding
that doint it manually takes forever if I have multiples tapes to take out
(which I always do).
Thanks

How many of the various DR commands are usable if we haven't purchased the
separate DRM module? Back in the ADSM v2 days, in lieu of purchasing DRM,
we developed AIX shell scripts which manage the checkout process. Since
then, I've ignored the DR commands as I thought they weren't available for
my use because I didn't purchase DRM.
Our current setup uses TSM server scripts to build a list of volumes to be
checked out, then uses an AIX script to convert the list into a macro to
execute the checkout commands.

I use the command
move drm * wherestate=mountable tostate=vault remove=bulk
That should be the kind of thing you are after.

Thanks for the help,
From I have been reading the MOVE MEDIA command is to allow you to
move onsite tapes to an overflow location. What I want to be able to do is
to identify which tapes I need to send offsite and with one command check
them out, instead of having to check the tapes out one at a time, ie one
command per tape I want to checkout. Right now if I have 8 tapes to
checkout to the offsite vault I need to execute 8 commands. I would like
to be bale to use one command to do this such as specifying a list which is
why I was trying to use the VOLFILE option. Is the MOVE MEDIA a command I
could use to do this?
Thanks again for the suggestion.

Doesn't MOVE MEDIA command meet your needs ?
