To get started executing something like "mtx -f /dev/sg1 status" will give you an overview of your drives and available slots.
In this example my tape library is connected via /dev/sg1 but yours might be something different. ie /dev/sg2, /dev/sg3 etc.
Then you can start moving tapes around "mtx -f /dev/sg1 load 7 0" (from slot 7 to drive 0)
hope this helps.
