Eric,

We're also doing it, and Tom's right, it is ugly.  I've reduced it to a
series of scripts that look for specific pools with mounted tapes and I
check them out and update the access to unavailable.  ADSM will mark the
tapes with an 'EMPTY' status and leave them unavailable once the files have
versioned off.  So, every day, I also run a command that updates all
volumes with empty status and unavailable access to readwrite access.  At
that point, ADSM will 'scratch' the tape.  The next step is to run a list
of currently 'unavailable' tapes and compare that to yesterday's list.
This generates a complete list of vault<-->onsite movements.

If you want the scripts, I'll be glad to email them to you, use at your own
risk.

Doug
