Hi,

I'v got a question about the IBM7337 DLT Library on a RS/6000 server.

The library is able to push the tapes further than the standard place, to
push them to the door, the tapes are in that case checked out. I saw it
happend in the full-automatic mode of the library.

Now the library is in control by TSM, i want that it can do the same thing.
In stat of using the input/output, i want to checkout the tapes by push the
tapes to the door, so i can checkout more than one tape and i can see which
tapes are checked out.

TSM is not able to do this.

I tried to find a way that AIX can do it for me, but i'm not succesful.
I tried tapeutil, and don't know any other util. who can do this for me.

Does anybody knows the answer?

TIA,
