Our daily cron-script attempts to ensure the mksysb was successful;  if
success, eject the tape - else, do not eject.

Daily operator procedure includes either (a) tape rotation (14 tapes for two
weeks of retention at off-site vault) or (b) trouble ticket (routed to the
tools team) if the tape did not eject.  Since we gotta have onsite tape
librarian to handle moving DRM pools offsite/onsite, it's been done this way
to keep life simple (for all the operations folks --- tape library,
monitoring and operations support/tools teams).

How do you handle rotation of mksysb tapes.. How many mksysb tapes do you
have ?
