The only thing I can think about is using ADIC Drives
our of library control (manually nsrmm [-m/-u] -f <path_drive_>
and mt -f <path_drive> offline).
For faster tape lookup, take tapes our of the lib,
sort tapes by barcodes and manually load/unload drives.
Another solution is, based on your user requests, to stage/clone
your actual needed volumes to your new disk array.
If no user restore are pending start mounting tapes manually
in reverse order (last used first) and stage/clone to your ne disk lib.
Anyway, asking a repair assess may be useful, do you really plan to
completely remove tapes from your backup strategy ?

Hi
Not sure why you're hunting me, as I'm no fountain of ADIC Scalar i2000
knowledge :).
Since you don't want to repair the robotics, but still want to avoid
manually looking for tapes, I'm not sure how to make this work. You need
the robotics working in order to scan the slot locations, to create the map
of what is where.
Anyone think of a way to make this work?
Thanks
