I'm wondering if anyone who has a 3494 library, or one similar in function, can help with this. I've been asked if there is a way for me to overwrite a tape with a random pattern, or even a specific pattern, from beginning to end 3 times. This wouldn't use any functions of TSM in itself. I could probably do something similar in TSM but would have to fill a tape completely and move and delete data from a tape.
If anyone has run in to this situation and can do it, or knows of a software package that will, I would like to hear from you. The library is automated so any script would have to mount a specific tape to a drive outside of TSM. My environment: TSM Server AIX 4.3.3 TSM Version 5.1.5.1 3494 Library with 3590E drives.
