The code I use to list the I/O station slots is:
/usr/bin/tapeutil -f /dev/smc0 inventory | grep -p Station | egrep
'Station|Volume' | awk '{
if($1 == "Import/Export") ioslot=$4;
if($1 == "Volume") {
if(NF == 4) volser=$4;
else volser="-open-";
print ioslot, volser;
}}'
The tapeutil command to move a tape is:
/usr/bin/tapeutil -f /dev/smc0 move <fromslot> <toslot>
For example: /usr/bin/tapeutil -f /dev/smc0 move 773 1037
You can get the slot numbers, and volsers in them, with the command:
/usr/bin/tapeutil -f /dev/smc0 inventory
To find an open slot just look for a slot with a blank "Volume Tag".
One little hitch, however. If a tape is currently mounted, the "tapeutil
inventory" command will show a
slot as open ("Volume Tag" is blank), but TSM will have it reserved for the
mounted tape. So what I did
in my script is to check the TSM device configuration file for each open
slot that I find and if that slot number
appears in it then I skip that slot and go on to the next one.

Jeff,
Can you share the tapeutil command(s) you use to retrieve this information?
Thanks,
Ted
