Thank you to everyone that replied. The disable storage command did what was
needed. One issue with using it is the obnoxious noise produced by the
director in every job that was initially assigned the disabled drive. Kern,
this is beyond ridiculous.

And it goes on for pages and pages until the job is assigned an available drive.

Hi Patti,
There is an enable/disable command to do this:
* disable storage=xxxx drive=yyyy
A status storage will show this drive disabled by "User command":
----8<----
Device File: "speedy_drv_0" (/path/to/device/0) is not open.
Device is disabled. User command.
Drive 0 is not loaded.
Available Space=xxxx GB
----8<----
To enable it again:
* enable storage=xxxx drive=yyyy
I do not believe the disable is permanent.. ie: it will not survive an SD
restart, but it should help in your situation.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Bill
