I don't think Curtis Preston's CLAM script comes pre-configured for multiple
CAP sizes, but if I recall correctly it shouldn't be difficult to modify it.

                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
