We have opened the doors on our L700 libraries while jobs were running with=
 no ill-effects. Granted we're not that busy all the time. Basically the on=
ly thing you might lose is a couple of robotic mounts which NBU may make yo=
u mount manually because the robot was unavailable while the door was open.=
 I can't say this for sure because it's never happened to us ... but it was=
 something we thought about when we opened the door the 1st time. Good luck=

I have opened the door on my SUN L400(Exabyte 220 library) with 2 drives an=
d 4 trays while netbackup was running to inject new media.=20

I didn't run into problems. I just made sure that the arm wasn't picking ta=
pes.=20

For the L700 it might be different.
