In regard to: [Networker] Keeping track of tapes and unloading them, Stan...:

Greetings everyone;

I have a requirement which was just given to me to track where my LTO-3
tapes are at any given time. To do this, I figure it makes sense to use the
location field, but I don't see any way to set that field programmatically.

I have a perl script that runs every morning and unloads tapes from our
library that are eligible to be sent off-site. What I would like to do in
that script is to set the location field for each tape so it indicates that
it is off-sited. So what's the command to set the location field in the
media database. I have looked at the man pages for nsrmm, nsrim, and nsrjb,
but I didn't find anything of relevance.

mmlocate.

Tim
