use robtest

mv the tape to a tape drive (it will be mounted)

exit robtest

from the cli

you can then address that tape via the /dev/rmt file

Oh, when you are done make sure you use robtest to unload and return it to
its proper slot.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] how to read tape label..........


...when the tape is not physically in front of you, and the library that
it is in has no barcode reader.

??? I thought I knew of a way to do this, but I was wrong.

Anyone?
