tpreq -ev <media id> -a w -d <drive type> -p <pool> -f <file name>
(p234 - 236 of the Media Manager SAG)
to unmount the tape:
tpunmount -f <filename>
 
You can then write to it for example with tar:
 tar -cvf /tmp/mountedtape /all/my/stuff
 
You could then check it with tar. Make sure that this pool is not used for
regular backups or HSM.

>From what I understand I could use the tpreq command to mount a tape as a
link and write to it using: 

tpreq -ev <media id>  -f <filesystem>  -p <pool> -a rw 

Is this a true statement and how do I check what I wrote to it.  We have a
large amount of info that we need to send off to a vendor and being able to
write to a tape and send the tape off is an ideal solution.

thanx,
