You can also echo commands to tldtest ( robtest ) to perform these
tasks automatically.

E.g

echo "m s14 s10" | tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0t0l0 

Above would move contents of slot 14 to slot 10 on device robot path
/dev/sg/c0t0l0   ....obtain this from sgscan

I run a loadtap script periodoically through the day as ops change
tapes. This re-inventories the robot

root@machine# cat loadtape
#!/bin/ksh
#Reloading and inventorising tapes for media manager

NBDIR=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin
MMDIR=/usr/openv/volmgr/bin
ADMINDIR=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd

#robot parameters
#ROBOT=`/opt/openv/volmgr/bin/sgscan | awk -F: '/P1000/ {print $1}'`
#ROBTEST=tldtest
#ROBCMD="$MMDIR/$ROBTEST -r $ROBOT"      #gives tldtest -r c0t0l0
#ROBFILE=/tmp/robotpath


###### Script ######
#Interactive
#$MMDIR/vmupdate -x -rn 0 -rt tld -rh `uname -n` -vh `uname -n`
-interactive -use_barcode_rules

#non-interactive
$MMDIR/vmupdate -x -rn 0 -rt tld -rh `uname -n` -vh `uname -n`
-use_barcode_rules
if [ $? != "0" ]
then
        echo "WARNING: Problem with loadtape script..maybe an
unreadable tape! Please check its IMPORTANT" |mailx -s "`uname -n`
Loadtape script Error"   [email protected]
