Re: [Veritas-bu] Manually eject tapes with vmchange

I saw some issues on the user forum about this

And they said something about using the option of –single_cycle to stop it from waiting for confirmation.

Which is what your issue may be is that once you eject it is waiting for that yes/no that pops up when you use the gui.

For some reason this stuck in my head.

Search the user forum for vmchange and eject.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Manually eject tapes with vmchange

All,

I am trying to write a script that will eject tapes and I am using the following command:

vmchange -res -multi_eject -rn 0 -rt TLD -rh robot_control_host -ml mediaID

This works fine the first time, but the robot no longer works and I need to restart Netbackup for the robot to do anything again. Robtest does not even work, it just waits to open the robot device.

Has anyone seen this before?

NB Version: 6.5.3

Master server OS: Solaris 10

Robot control server OS: SuSE Linux 10

The robot is an IBM 3584.

Thanks.

-Kevin
