There are a few examples of how this is accomplished on my website.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] vmchange command to eject multiple tapes...


List;

I have been reviewing the past posts the the veritas-bu list to locate
details to get my vmchange command to work correctly.  I still cannot get my
script to move multiple tapes to the mailbox without getting the
        remove 001701 from mailslot of robot 0 now
                (press <RETURN> to continue)
prompt after each tape is moved to the mailbox.

This is the vmchange command I am using in my Perl script:

vmchange -res -m $library_media_id -rt tl8 -mt 8mm -rn /dev/sg/c2t6l0 -rh
boreal -rc1 $library_slot -rc2 - -e -sec 10
        or
vmchange -res -m $library_media_id -rt tl8 -mt 8mm -rn /dev/sg/c2t6l0 -rh
boreal -rc1 $library_slot -rc2 - -e

I want to move 18 tapes from the library to the mailbox, then open the
mailbox once and unload the tapes.

Running NBU DataCenter 3.4 driving a ADIC Scalar 1000 with a 18 slot
mailbox.

Any help would be appreciated.
