Hello, I need to know how I can indicate destin slot in de inject command:
#vmchange -res -multi_inject -w -ml <media_id> -verbose -rn <robot_number> -rt TLD -rh <robot_control_host>
I'm trying to do a script to eject and inject a tape. I resolved the first part, but I cant resolve tha last part (this command).
Thank.
I agree with Martin
Rather use vmupdate that has -empty_map option.
The robot knows where the empty slots are and will place the tapes there.
Hi Marianne
from my understanding , to use the vmupdate command is different with to use the vmchange command to inject the volumes to the library.
vmupdate will do 2 things , 1 ) inventory 2) empty the map and move all the media in the CAP to the library
vmchange can just move all the medias in the MAP to the library .
correct me if I am wrong . Cheers !

Yes, the vmupdate command is similar to a inventory with 'Update robot contents' and 'Empty Map' selected.
Netbackup doesnt suppose to manage the Slots , it's managed by the tape library .
so when Netbackup issue the request to move the tapes from the MAP/CAP to the tape library
the tape library robot would pick the tapes from the MAP/CAP and choose the empty slots to use to put the medias .

Thank to all for your help.
Kinda curious why I get a -1 mark for stating the exact correct answer to the question posted ?
Perhaps somebody doesn't like the answer, but that is hardly my fault.
I see revaroo suffered the same fate, as did Eric!
LOL! Seems all of us got a 'thumbs down'! Don't let it bother you!
The right answer is hardly ever the popular answer. 
It would be nice if the person(s) disagreeing with us will tell us why!

Seems there is a voting troll. Perhaps the admins could find out who they are and warn/ban them? :)
