Hi Oliver,

If there is a way of doing this, I've not found it. With ADSM V3, you
can update your tape devclass definition to mountlimit=drives. ADSM will
then dynamically adjust the mountlimit for you. You can then do a query
drive, and the display will let you know whether the drive is on-line or
not. I assume that, if the library manager has set it unavailable then
the drive will appear as off-line.

        Hi all,

        I have the ADSM Version 2 with a 3494 Tape Libraray.

        My question: Is it possible to get the status from the adsm
commandline
        Interface
        about a drive that has been set "unavailable" by the libraray
manager.
        The only message we got by starting the ADSM Server is in the
actlog:
        "DRIVE <Tapename>  (/dev/rmtx) unavailable to library manager"
