Sequential operations<BR />begin with any cartridge loaded into Drive 0. The library<BR />monitors the drive status, and when the host unloads a cartridge<BR />from the drive, it returns the cartridge to the magazine, and then<BR />loads the next cartridge in magazine numerical order. This<BR />operation continues until all cartridges have been loaded, or<BR />until an empty slot is encountered.<BR /><BR />When I issue the DCL command <BR />$ DISMOUNT/UNLOAD $2$MGA1, the tape drive goes off-line, and the MSL6030 does not unload the cartridge and insert the next one from the magazine.<BR /><BR />Can anyone tell me why the MSL Sequential mode is not working as I expect it?<BR /><BR />Thank you,<BR /><BR />Roger Fri, 24 Apr 2009 16:18:56 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-openvms/msl6000-tape-drive/m-p/5171635#M94308 Roger Provencher 2009-04-24T16:18:56Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-openvms/msl6000-tape-drive/m-p/5171636#M94309 <BR /> The solution to this problem was to upgrade the firmware on both tape drives.<BR /><BR />Thank you,<BR /><BR />Roger Provencher Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:33:57 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-openvms/msl6000-tape-drive/m-p/5171636#M94309 Roger Provencher 2009-04-30T18:33:57Z
