OK, I made the edit...I'm assuming the hand run command line would
then become (based on the script):
./mtx-changer /dev/sg0 unload 1 /dev/nst2 0
OK...that seems to have it working for the exabyte drive however now
it is somewhat broken for the 2 HP DDS3 autoloaders as they do not
require the offline and if given it do not tolerate it well at
all.....a long delay time and error message before they finally
unloads as shown below"
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# mtx -f /dev/sg1 load 1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# mtx -f /dev/sg1 status
Storage Changer /dev/sg1:1 Drives, 6 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 1 Loaded)
Storage Element 1:Empty
Storage Element 2:Full
Storage Element 3:Full
Storage Element 4:Full
Storage Element 5:Full
Storage Element 6:Empty
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ./mtx-changer /dev/sg1 unload 1 /dev/nst1 0
/dev/nst1: Input/output error
Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 1...done
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# mtx -f /dev/sg1 status
Storage Changer /dev/sg1:1 Drives, 6 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Empty
Storage Element 1:Full
Storage Element 2:Full
Storage Element 3:Full
Storage Element 4:Full
Storage Element 5:Full
Storage Element 6:Empty
How do I work around this?
Thanks.
