Hi,

Is there a way to tell from AIX the number of cleaning cycles remaining in
a 3584?

For our 3494 we have a script that does a "mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qL"
to get the number of cleaning cycles available.  I'm trying to
find how to do this for our new 3584 lib.  I found that the mtlib command
works with the 3584 ("mtlib -l /dev/smc0 -qL"), but it just lists "0" for
the
number of cleaning cycles available.  The web interface shows that
there are 10 tapes, each with 50 cycles available - total=500.

Is there anyway to get the number of cleaning cycles available
for a 3584 from AIX?

thanks

Rick
