For tape label operations I think you're out of luck as that's just the way TSM does things.. For other operations you probably want to increase the "Mount Retention" setting on your manual tape's device class.. (i.e. upd devc <devcname> mountr=9999)
Do a help upd devc for more information on that parameter..default is 60 minutes.

When I'm using manual drives and I label a tape it spits the tape out each time when it's done labelling, this sucks because I'm not a the location of where the hardware is. It's annoying calling someone all the time just to pop the tape back in. Does anyone know of a parameter which keeps the tape in the drive even after a successfully TSM tape label operation? Any help would be appreciated thanks! --Justin Richard Bleistein
