That's interesting - what shows up in your "allocated-to" field?  (Mine has
nothing, even when tapes are mounted to processes and restores..)

Hi list,

Does anybody know of a SELECT statement that will show if any drives
are
available for use (not in use by another process or session)?

I need this for scripting purposes as I have only two drives in my
library,
and while doing reclamation both drives are in use.


Kind regards,

Christian
