  Thanks for the info, however, when I try & run the command you suggested,
I get a message saying that the drive is not reserved !!
  Although, when I run a crawlreleasebyname against the drive, it does show
as reserved !?!

  Now I'm confused !

      Hello,

      I have a media server which has reserved a large number of shared
drives in my SSO environment.

      I initially tried releasing them, using "vmoprcmd -crawlreleasebyname
<DRIVE_NAME>", but they remain reserved.

      When I check the media server (Win2K), it appears that for some
reason, it has lost the device driver for these tape drives.

      Usually, I would re-apply the driver, powercycle the drives & run the
release command again. However, in this instance, I cannot re-install the
drivers & can therefore not release the drives...  Catch 22 !!!

      Also, a reboot is out of the question, since this server is a
production machine & currently very busy.

      What I am worried about, is that this server has hold of 16 out of my
24 shared drives, which I guess will make them unusable by the other media
servers.

      Does anyone have any magic up their sleeves that might enable me to
remove these reserves ?

      Many Thanks

      Andy Hardy
