Hi. You should be able to keep the tapes in and do a label libv with an
overwrite=yes.
If you want to check a status of a tape:
mtlib -l/dev/lmcp0 -qV -V tapenumber    (where the /dev/lmcp0 MAY be the
device
name of your 3494 on your AIX system..??).
If the tape is in ff00 category...you shouldn't have to do an eject, just
to put
it back..ff00=insert
Anyway, to eject a tape:
mtlib -l/dev/lmcp0 -C -V tapenumber -s ff00 -t ff10
ff10 is eject (tape will then be ejected)
-s parm is the 'source' or the category the tape is currently in...
FYI Thanks Tim
FYI Thanks Tim
you may also wish to try mtlib -l/dev/lmcp0 -?  (if you haven't done so
already).
FYI Thanks Tim

Subject:  Ejecting a Tape from 3494

Server:  AIX 3.1.2.50
  ATL:  IBM 3494 w/3590-B Drives

     Help!  I know there's a way to do this, but darn if I can remember it.
I
entered 200 new tape cartridges into my 3494 ATL, expecting to perform a
'checkin libv' with the 'search' parameter later.  Every volume issued a
labelcheck error on mounting to the drive.  (They were ordered labelled and
initialized.)  Now, I'm trying to get just one of the volumes out of the
library
so that I can try to label it with 'overwrite' on checkin.  The library
knows of
the volume, but not ADSM.  How can I get this tape out??  (Is it an mtlib
command?  I'm shakey on my UNIX, so please be specific!)

                         Thanks,

                         Ginny
