Different tape media, went from sdlt 320 to LTO-3. I thought the library
would ask to load one of the sdlt tapes. But I am doing a test backup
right now and its loading one of the LTO's.
So basically you wish to mark all your sdlt320 tapes as read only.
What you probably need to do is mark them read only AND manual recycle.
Read only will prevent any partially written tapes being requested for
write, and manual recycle will prevent all tapes from being recycled and
thus potentially requested for write.
If you were writing this in Unix shell you would do the following:
mminfo -q "type=SDLT320" -r volume | while read VOL; do
nsrmm -y -o readonly $VOL
nsrmm -y -o manual $VOL
done
This should be fairly easy to translate to a BAT or CMD file for someone
with the right skills.
