We're running 6.5.5, and use a similar command from within a script, and it
works fine. Here's whats in our script:
$VMCHANGE -vh $volumeHost -res -m $tape -mt $thisMT -rn $robotNumber -rh
$robotHost -rt none -e -sec 1
Looks like the big difference is that we specify the -rn and -rh. I've tried
running this without -rn and -rh, and I get syntax errors; perhaps this is the
issue for you?

OK, so this has me stumped. I used to use the following command in a
script to automatically eject some tapes for me (for my operators
actually):
vmchange -vh $B_SERVER -res -m $clnmedia -mt hcart_clean -rt
none -v --- -e -sec 1 (worked as of 5.0 but no more?)
It worked like a champ, it would eject old cleaning tapes once they had
been used up. However, this command no longer works and I'm not able to
figure out a way to eject tapes without some sort of user intervention.
Does anyone have any thoughts about if this is still possible?
NetBackup 6.5.5 and 7 is what I'm running...
Thanks!
