How do I control a scsi tape changer from the command-line?

Hi,

I have a SCSI tape changer (Qualstar TLS-4222). I use
HPUX 11.11.

I do an ioscan and it is
visible. I can also see
that it is claimed by device
driver "schgr". I can see
the device in /dev/rac.

I tried to use "scsictl -a",
but it returned an I/O error.

How can I send commands to it
to do things like load and
move tapes?

Thanks in advance!!

David
