[Networker] LTO drives and NetWorker 7.3.x

I need a little assistance with a bigger hammer for certain supportfolks inside EMC... I need people with LTO(1,2,3 or 4) tape drives toperform the following test for me:

Please mount a tape in the drive, then perform the following series ofcommands (these are for linux, but solaris would be similar -- sadly, Idon't know the windows equivalents). The series of commands will askthe drive for its status, eject the tape, and then ask for the drivestatus again:


# get status
mt -f <tape_device> status
cdi_get_status -f <tape_device>

# eject the tape
mt -f <tape_device> offline

# get status again
mt -f <tape_device> status
cdi_get_status -f <tape_device>

Please if you would send that to me and tell me if your tape drives arefibre attached or scsi attached, I'd appreciate it greatly.

If you don't know how to get the tape back into the drive when you arefinished, you can use the following command:


cdi_load_unload -f <tape_device> -l

or if you prefer (and it's an SJI library)

sjimm c.h.s drive X drive X

where c.h.s is the control port of the library, and X is the drive number.

Thanks,
