I have a 24 slot autochanger, SUN/HP with barcodes I had tapes 18-37 in slots 1-22, slot 24 is unused (it is an inslot/mailslot), and slot 23 is a cleaner
I labeled 18-37, wrote labels, put in tape pool, etc I moved 18-22 to slot 18-22 and then loaded slots 1 to 17 with tapes 1-17, used add to add TAPES 1-17 using barcode. That was my mistake, I should have used label for 1-12 so, it is like this: slots tapeid status 1-17 1-17 in catalog, using add, NOT in pool 18-22 18-22 in catalog, using label cmd, labels written, in tape pool 23 cleaner 24 mail/crop slot, empty none 23-40 not in a slot, in catalog, using label cmd, labels written, in tape pool So, started job, it grabbed tape 18, slot 18 and started writing, I was wondering why it started at 18, but it continued and then used 19,20,21,22 - all fine It then went to mount request for tape 23, not in unit, which is expected due to 23-40 being labeled and in catalog At this point, I realized 1-17 were not in pool, so added them to pool, labels written etc. Typed mount, expecting it to automatically grab tape 1. It just sat. To make it work required me to use mtx to load tape 1, from slot 1, go back into bconsole, type 'update slots', then 'mount' and it worked Problem is, each tape finishes, it requests tape 23, not in unit and I have to do the mtx, bconsole update slots and mount for each tape. I would have thought the 'update slots' would put it back to automatic modes, since it should see 1-17 are now in the pool.
