Yep, Go into TAPEUTIL (which can be run in batch as well). You will see the options.
Instructions: Mount the tape in the drive using mtlib Run TAPEUTIL to open, DSE it, and unload it. Use mtlib to dismount the tape. -----Original Message----- From: Prather, Wanda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 1:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AIX support for ERASING a tape Our STK 9840 tape drives are attached to an AIX host. The 9840 drives support the SCSI DSE command (Data Security Erase). DSE has to be issued by software. Anybody know of a utility I can run on AIX that will let me issue that command to a tape drive?
