Hello,

I'm trying to use David's duplication_script and getting some weird problems.
Probably I'm doing something wrong.

I have a StorEdge L40 library with two DLT8000 drives. It is configured as
one stu, obviously. This is the only stu available. It is connected to
Sun U10 running NBU DataCenter 3.4.1. 

bpduplicate, as well as duplication script, requires to specify the destination
storage unit. I can use only one. 

duplication_script starts, runs for some time, and then hungs forever with 213
error. 

Do I need two stu's to be able to use bpduplicate and duplication_script?

My understanding was that as long as I have two drives I can duplicate tapes.

duplication_script for some reason starts several processes requiring
different source tapes and different destination tapes. And this cannot
be done. It looks that one process mounts its destination tape, the other
meanwhile mounts its source tape. Then there are no more free drives,
noone of the processes is able to mount the second tape needed for copying
to start, and they wait for each other forever. 

Is there a way to tell duplication script to run one duplication process
at a time?

Thank you,
