How to send tapes from DLT 6/60 to mail slots by OmniBack
I have a DLT 6/60 and I use OmniBack 3.0(3.5 soon) to backup oracle databases on HPUX 11.0 server.
I want to know how to send tapes to the mail slots once the backup is finish (in this way we can pickup the tapes and send them outside the site)and how to send back the new tapes from mail slots to available slots on the DLT 6/60.
Any idea? Thx.

Re: How to send tapes from DLT 6/60 to mail slots by OmniBack
following commands;
/usr/sbin/mc - generic
/opt/omni/lbin/uma - specific to Omniback
/opt/omni/bin/omnimm "
/opt/omni/bin/omnidb "
/opt/omni/bin/omnirpt "
The mc command does not update the omniback database, so I generally only use it for moving stuck tapes.
The general syntax for mc is;
mc -p

MC - tell it about the TAPE DRIVE special file
i.e /dev/rmt/0m
UMA - tell it about the ROBOT special file
i.e. /dev/robot
or /dev/rac/c5t3d0
use STAT to see status
use MOVE to move tapes
if a tape gets stuck in a drive, use MT
mt -t /dev/rmt/0m OFFL to allow eject/move
OMNIMM - tell it about the OMNIBACK NAME for the tape media or the library
...you want -eject here, I think.
Good Luck.

In the NT-Interface you can right-click on a slot and you can select EJECT.
This operation moves the tape from the slot to a mail-slot.
The other way (from Mail-slot) to Slot in the Tape-library : use ENTER.
I don't know how to automate this, but I use it manualy until now.
Greetings,
Chris MARREEL

You can't use a post-exec script as
the tape is still active in the session.
You will need to run a script afterwards
that does this. We do a similar thing
except we only run the eject program
once a day. This of course depends on
how many backups you run a day. This
should solve your problem too Chris.
This script will only work for tape
libraries that have barcodes. No
warranty is offered.
There is a couple of things to note:
omnimm -eject "Your tape library name"
/dev/robot (your picker name)
ME0 (Replace with your string of barcode
numbering. All of my tapes start with this.)
Daily= String I use to differentiate between
different types of backups.
