Re: Automated DRM volume handling LTO 3582 library

Hi Bill,

Thanks for that.
Unfortunately, the AutoVault option is not possible.

The funny thing is: When I was using a 3570 Magstar MP library, there were
no problems at all, as the library would just wait for me to give a reply
when the cartridge was ejected into the I/O station. After upgrading the
library, It just doesn't work anymore.

I just installed on at a site, but the are using Autovault instead of DRM.
Autovault is configured to check out the volumes REM=NO CHECKL=NO. Then
they
just open the library, pull out the tapes called for by Autovault and put a
scratch tape in the slot. then I have a scheduled checkin SEARCH=YES
CHECKL=B for later in the day. The only difficult part is the tapes in the
back of the 3582. You have to make sure you park the picker first. The
manual says that's not the suggested way of doing it, but TSM/Autovault
doesn't support their little buld load/unload funtion.

Hi listers,

Is anyone using this new LTO library from IBM with TSM / DRM? And if so,
how
are you performing your automated daily checkin / checkout routines for
your
DRM volumes?

Any tips would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,
Alex
