When I tried the "remove=untileefull" clause (vers 3.7.2), it then asked me
to respond to each tape with a reply.  If I have to respond to each tape, I
might as well do it the old way and remove them when I count to ten.  I want
it to take them out and not ask me and then stop when the bulk area is full.
Has this changed since v 3.7.2 to work correctly (or what I think is
correctly)?

Hi David,

You should get a rid of this problem by adding "remove=untileefull" in your
"move drm" statement ! Hope it helped ! Cheers.

Subject: LTO Bulk Reader filled....


I was using DRM to manage a copypool, and sent my "Vault" tapes to the bulk
reader.  I wasn't paying attention at the time, but I sent more than 10
tapes.  The extra tapes were dutifully marked at the Vault, and TSM lost
track of them, but they were still in the LTO!  A key, and a few minutes of
scanning, found them, but it wasn't what I expected....

Is there any way in TSM to monitor, easily, how many tapes are to be
ejected, compare that to what, if any, tapes are already in the bulk reader,
and send only what can fit?  Or, error out for trying to do too much?

I have written a rather nasty shell script that does a few selects, picks a
tape list, cuts off the top 10 tapes, and only sends those (one at a time,
rather than with any wildcards), but I'm wondering if I'm using a sledge
hammer on this finishing nail....

AIX 4.3.3, TSM 4.2.1.8
