Hi,

Does anyone have experience with using the nsrjb -w command to withdraw
tapes on an SL8500 or any acsls silo?  I'm tearing my hair out trying to
get something resembling a coherent procedure to do this.

It seems that in order to permit sysops to load tapes I need to have the
CAP in automatic mode but then that seems to be incompatible with
whatever nw 7.3.2 is dong when it withdraws tapes...

I just tried this:

Nsrjb -j jukeboxname -vvvvv -w    xxxx xxx xxx   (11 volumes)

And had to type 'Yes' about six times, and the result was the 9th tape
in the list was put in the CAP and nothing else...   The SL8500 insists
on the CAP being opened and closed between each operation also - I don't
much like that as it's a long walk (about 30km) each time.


I'm considering not using -w, instead using -x to remove it from the
inventory and then acsls eject command.
