Is anybody using the StorageTek L20 (with LTO drives/tapes) tape library
system with TSM (on NT)?
Link = http://www.storagetek.com/products/tape/L20/
If so, what is your experience?
Which version of TSM do you use.
Which use do you want ? Archive/Backup ?
The use of TSM API is quite complicated but it works
really fine.
I didn't touch the code 2 years ago. We use only
Archive/Retrieve functions(3.7.4) on NT. If you need
info you can 'Reply'.

Joshua,
I understand if there is no TSM specific option. If it is an AIX solution,
this is perfect too. Any help/tips are appreciated.

To mark them destroyed you have to vary them offline
