Re: ISM media question

Im no guru but im switching from TSM to ISM and Im doing sme testing using my 3583 library which has 3580s in it. I insert the tapes manually but I use a script to get them out. They work well - When you ./ism_add -device you need just se anything else as type ie I use LTO. Heres the script I use to get them out... #!/usr/bin/ksh LOGICAL=/dev/rmt4.1 DATA1=/dev/rmt1.1 DATA2=/dev/rmt2.1 DLT1=/dev/rmt4 LTO1=/dev/rmt1 LTO2=/dev/rmt2 INFORMIX_BIN=/informix/DEV/bin/ism_op TAPEUTIL_BIN=/usr/bin/tapeutil echo "Unmounting logical log tape on $DLT from the ISM" su - informix -c ${INFORMIX_BIN} -unmount ${LOGICAL} echo "Unloading logical log tape from $DLT" tctl -f ${DLT1} offline echo "It is now safe to remove the tape from $DLT" echo "Unmounting $LTO1 from the ISM" su - informix -c ${INFORMIX_BIN} -unmount ${DATA1} echo "Unmounting $LTO2 from the ISM" su - informix -c ${INFORMIX_BIN} -unmount ${DATA2} echo "Unloading tape from $LTO1" ${TAPEUTIL_BIN} -f /dev/rmt1 rewoffl ${TAPEUTIL_BIN} -f /dev/smc0 move -s 256 -d 16 echo "Unload the tape from the Library I/O station" echo "Press enter when you are done." read WAITING echo "Unloading tape from $LTO2" ${TAPEUTIL_BIN} -f /dev/rmt2 rewoffl ${TAPEUTIL_BIN} -f /dev/smc0 move -s 257 -d 16 echo "You may now unload the tape from the Library I/O station." exit 0 There may be better ways to do it, but this works for testing... Ill be adding two external 3580 Ultrium2 drives once Im finished testing..
