We have it set to 200.. But sometimes we have issues with netbackup releasing tapes after backups. Sometimes the tape stays in the drive for 30-40 minutes, even if we have jobs in queue. We have logged cases to Symantec about this and also to STK/SUN. But no one can tells us what`s wrong.
We had similar problems a year back or so. But then the SL8500 was kind new here and after some firmware upgrades and some new elevators and arms in place the problem disappeared. I would also recommend what Mike recommended... In the beginning it was hard keeping trace of all device names and which drive it was connected to. Also check the acsss_event.log to see if there are any errors mounting/umounting tapes and send them away with the elevator.
