Try this:

vmoprcmd -d ds  (tells you the drive status)

You could script something to look for a downed drive and email you.  You
can also use vmoprcmd to up the drive.

vmoprcmd -up <drive index>

Does anyone know what the "command-line" command is to get the status of a
tape
drive (up or down)
Our DLT7000 drives get "downed" frequently and I would like to setup a cron
job
that can get the status
of the drives and email our operators.

     Thanks
