Hi folks,

I created a script that does this:

backup stgpool w=y
backup db w=y
move drm * wherest=mount tostate=coruier remove=bulk

The problem is that the move drm fails with ANR8442E: volume is currently
in use, even though the volumes are not

It seems like the tapes must be dismounted before they can be checked out.
Is that right?  Has anyone come up with a good workaround that's not
something like a perl script to do a query mount followed by a set of
dismounts?

I'm running TSM 5.3.3 on Linux x86, connected to a 3584.
