After I configure drives I tend to use robtest to see if I have them right


m s1 d1
unload d1
m d1 d2
unload d2 

etc

m dx s1


The move moves the tape into what the robots thinks is drive 1 the unload 
unloads what is configured to be drive one, if
there is a mismatch you find it then (ie it will tell you there is no tape in 
the drive.

Odd....I've had similar misconfigurations, thanks to autoconf/configwizard, and 
what I experienced, was a tape getting
loaded into a drive,the drive going "DOWN", then another tape in another drive, 
that drivegoing "DOWN", repeatedly
untill all drive were down, but no tapes wereused.
