I know there have been many posts on tape eject and there is a script
available on www.xbpadm-commands.com.

There was also a solution posted to the "press <RETURN> to continue" message
seen with vmchange -res -e and NetBackup 3.4.

My question is this..  how is everyone handling the tape limits for the CAP?

I would guess that a lot of people are using a while loop within their eject
script to count the number of ejects and then pause & send a message that the
CAP is full or are breaking up the list of tapes that is passed to the eject
script into sizes that their CAP can handle.

I have multiple robots all with different size CAPs.  I would like a way for
the script to either check to see if there is an available slot in the CAP
before ejecting each media or watch for an error and then continue when the
CAP is emptied.  Is anyone doing anything like this?


Thanks,

Scott
