Add -e -sec 1

This is an unsupported switch (visible by typing vmchange -Q <-notice
Captital Q not lower case)

Add that to you below command line to get the actual eject.  If you do no=
t
add the -sec 1 it will wait at the command prompt for an eternity and the=
n
some for a user reply.  The -sec specifies the number of seconds to wait.

from STK L180 solaris 8

=09=09Hello

=09=09I am trying to eject by command line a tape (identified by
media ID)
=09=09from a storagetek model l180(also labelled storedge L180 by
Sun) linked
=09=09to a Sun solaris 8 backup server running veritas netbackup
4.5.

=09=09I tried various use of the  vmchange command:
=09=09vmchange -res -m 000041 -rt none -rn 0 -rh `uname -n` -v ---
-rc1 0 -rc2
=09=090 -mt hcart ....
=09=09-verbose - w -rt changing  without any other result that the
tape is
=09=09"logicaly ejected" (means disappears from the content list)
put
=09=09physically unmoved from the slot where it was.
=09=09then have the robot read its content, and try another
command.

=09=09What command would work ?
=09=09regards
=09=09Philippe Coulon
