I use the command

move drm * wherestate=mountable tostate=vault remove=bulk

That should be the kind of thing you are after.

Thanks

Subject:  Re: Script to CHECKOUT multiples tapes on SCSI library


Thanks for the help,

     From I have been reading the MOVE MEDIA command is to allow you to
move onsite tapes to an overflow location.  What I want to be able to do is
to identify which tapes I need to send offsite and with one command check
them out, instead of having to check the tapes out one at a time, ie one
command per tape I want to checkout.  Right now if I have 8 tapes to
checkout to the offsite vault I need to execute 8 commands.  I would like
to be bale to use one command to do this such as specifying a list which is
why I was trying to use the VOLFILE option.  Is the MOVE MEDIA a command I
could use to do this?

Thanks again for the suggestion.

Etienne Brodeur

Doesn't MOVE MEDIA command meet your needs ?
