Gary,
The DLT7000 has been upgraded to 1B41 which is microcode 65. Somehow that is
the latest microcode from Breece Hill. They tried loading version 70 which
is 1E46 but failed. It may be due addition code that BH puts and modify from
Quantum.
Regards,
Victor

Subject: lbtest help
Dear ADSMers
The technical bit first :-
ADSM Server 3.1.1.1
ADSM Client 3.1.20.3
AIX 4.3 (S/70)
Breece Hill Q215 with 2 DLT 7000 (microcode level 55 - 1837)
Atape Driver 4.1.3.0
Has anyone got, or can tell me how to get, some documentation on
using
the lbtest program in batch mode, i.e. using lbtest.in.
I am trying to work around the problem that if you halt the server
with
tapes mounted, then when the server starts again, it does not know
about
the tapes in the drive(s) and consequently when it tries to mount a
tape
it fails with I/O destination slot full (or something like that).
I have seen somewhere on the List about an APAR that could help, but
it
is not out yet and I need to fix this ASAP.
I have limited success with the following content of lbtest.in with
the
command ./lbtest -d /dev/lb0 -f lbtest.in
command open $D RW
command return_elem_count
command return_lib_inventory_all
command move_drive_slot
command close
Without the 'command move_drive_slot' it works ok, but the
move_drive_slot returns -2 incorrect number of arguments.
I have tried various parameters like 0, invert = 0, (0) invert=0,
etc.
If I run it in interactive mode, it works ok and unloads the tapes
back
to their original slots.
Your help would be appreciated.
Regards
Gary
