Dennis,

NetBackup 3.4 does indeed have an extra button, "Empty inport prior to
update" on the Java tool., as follows:

Well the injecting exists today, in the inventory list, click empty inport
before inventory or something like that.

And the eject from the GIU actually works on NT I think, don't hold me to
that.  I can almost guarantee that it will be added to future UNIX releases.

You know ... with all the interest that seems to be flying around this group
regarding injecting and ejecting more than one tape at a time through a CAP
door, it appears that those features oughta be standard issue within the
NetBackup product. Perhaps a Veritas person who monitors this list can give
us some insight as to whether that will ever happen and when (cast in Jell-O
of course). I'd hate to think as the NBU product evolves, it won't include
this capability.

Dennis

  Here's one in ksh I just finished.  It works with our Sun L700
(a re-labeled StorageTek.)

  I first tried using vmchange with the "-e" option, but I got
back an error indication that it wasn't supported for my library.
With the help of this list I switched to tldtest and vmupdate
and it's working nicely now.

  I'm supporting a library in Colorado from here in California.
There are operators there, but they only move tapes; they 
don't know anything about NBU.  I first wrote a script to run
in the morning ejecting tapes based on our offsite retention
policy that emails the operators when the tapes are in the CAP.
This second script runs late in the afternoon and loads up the
replacement tapes that the operators put in the CAP during the
day.  We've only been running a week with both scripts, but so
far it's looking good.

<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; doesn't seem to be anyway =
through the netbackup gui to add/remove</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>tapes</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to the library through the 12 =
tape CAP/mailslot on the library.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>Would</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; there be anyscripts that would =
accomplish this, or is anyone aware</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; how to do it through the gui =
?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Thanks,</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; I believe the answer you are looking =
for is how to simply add in tape.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; From Media Manager do Actions --&gt; =
New --&gt; Single Volume --&gt; (Choose</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>type</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; of media and type of library), then a =
new GUI will come up: Give tape</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; the correct pool, slot, etc, then =
click the YES radio button for</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>'Inject</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; via Mailslot?' , click 'OK' and =
wah-la.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; NOTE: Put the order of tapes you are =
going to add from top to bottom!</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; The first one you add in may be tape =
000001, but if HIU046 is in the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>top</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; slot, it will grab it instead.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; You can choose the add multiple =
volumes, but you then have to go back</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; and physically add in the tapes =
afterwards (at least in 3.2).</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>Scripting</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; the ejection of tapes is pretty easy =
and straightforward with:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; vmchange -res -m &lt;media id&gt; -mt =
dlt -e</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt;</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; Injecting them *may* be possible (and =
undocumented) with vmchange, but</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>&gt; &gt; &gt; don't know.</FONT>
