Hi List,

Does anyone know what the NDMP MTIO operation is for

Veritas is logging the following error in response to an unsupported 
NDMP_MTIO_EOM (10)  operation returned by an NDMP based tape service:
----------
<2> io_ioctl: command (10)MTEOM 1 from (..\bptm.c.16769) on drive index 7
16:30:23.901 [7024.7036] <16> io_ioctl: io_ioctl_ndmp (MTEOM) failed on 
media id DEVZA, drive index 7, return code 9 (NDMP_ILLEGAL_ARGS_ERR) 
(..\bptm.c.16769)
16:30:23.917 [7024.7036] <2> log_media_error: successfully wrote to 
error file - 03/17/04 16:30:23 DEVZA  7 POSITION_ERROR
----------

The NDMP compliant tape server I am using does not support this MTEOM 
operation and I cannot find any documentation on it either in the NDMP 
specs nor veritas tech notes.

Any help about this operation and how to work around this error will be 
great.

Thanks,
Shai
