Hello,
Unless the Tape withdraw process is extremely lengthy and you only have
very limited number of "CAP" withdraw slots, i recommend sticking with
withdrawing tapes via "CAP"
Thanks

Re: [Networker] Library status changes from 'ready' to 'needs attention'
when opening the library but does not change back to 'ready' after closing
the library
Ronny,
My old procedures were very similar to what you described. Since one of
the v7.X upgrades I've found that I am better off using the NMC interface
and disabling the library prior to opening up the library to move tapes in
and out. When finished, I re-enable the library which will go through a
hardware and inventory check which it needs to do anyway. It will take
several minutes before the library returns to the "Ready" state. I am
using Linux and Networker v7.3.3.
