Hi Frank,

Thanx for your help. Yes value was set to 0. I have changed it to 10 now.

Best Regards,

Hi,

I will assume that the "idle device timeout" value is at the default of 0. You can check that by setting diagnostic mode in the view menu of NMC, then open the properties of the jukebox, and select the Timers tab.

A value of 0 means that networker should never unload an idle device and it will quite stubbornly leave tapes in drives forever demanding that writable tapes be mounted.

I have developed a habit of always updating that value to 10 (minutes).
