If NetBackup can't move a tape back from the drive to its slot, it will down the drive (at least in our environment - as the OS is Solaris will log a message to /var/adm/messages). We used to have a small robot where the OPs manually changed tapes by opening the robot up moving tapes. As part

This may not be the answer you're looking for, but why not lock the door, and have ops use the CAP? The L700 has a 20 cart CAP, and I believe you can add an optional additional 20 cart CAP. 40 carts at a time ain't to bad. Paul -- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
