Do something that always takes the robot offline, like opening the front
door.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] disable tld

Is there a way to manually down tld0, thus forcing the library drives to
AVR? 
I tried upoprbyname and that still put the drives in TLD.

Today is not a good day.  The robot is dead, and the vendor is having 
"logistics issues" which means I have been waiting on a replacement part
for 9 
hours now.  Occasionally NetBackup downs tld0 on its own, the drives go
to AVR, 
and I can manually switch tapes to keep things flowing.  Just as
magically, the 
robot will start responding again, NBU up's tld0 and the drives that
aren't 
currently busy go down.

If there is some way to force the drives to AVR, I can finish flushing
my DSSUs 
and be relatively ok until the parts arrive (I hope).  I have tried
unplugging 
the fibre connection to the robot (not the drives) and that didn't work,
but I 
only waited about 10 minutes, so maybe I didn't satisfy some timeout.

Help

PS:  Said vendor is being flogged, I'm angling for Platinum support at
Silver 
prices since that's the level of service I have recieved today.
