SolutionI am the Continuing Product Engineer for the HP VLS product line at HP.
The current version of L&TT uses a SCSI READ_ELEMENT_STATUS (RES) command during a Front Panel Move Media operation and the RES CDB that it sends to the Library robot controller has the "Mixed Media" bit set. The VLS emulated ESL libraries do not support the "Mixed Media" bit (the real ESL Libraries do) and any L&TT Front Panel Move Media operation will fail on VLS "HP ESL" or "HP VLS" library types. The VLS "HP MSL6000" and "HP AutoLoader" library types do not have this problem with L&TT. The L&TT team are working to address this issue with the VLS libraries so that L&TT Front Panel move media operations will work in a future version of L&TT (hopefully soon).
And yes, rebooting or Restart Emulations (from the CV-VLS GUI)on the VLS will unload all tape drives and put them back in the original library slots (as long as the original slot is still empty). This is the only way to empty drives from the VLS. Could you not empty the drives from your backup application or perhaps using the "mc" command in the HP-UX host? What is your backup app & host nodes that access the VLS libraries?

Re: undefined tape behavior in DP or L&TT

Re: undefined tape behavior in DP or L&TT
Did your server reboot/crash unexpected ? Can you share with me your case after the investigation ? Because I have a issue, when I plug the VLS fiber cable to SAN switch around 10 min server which connected to SAN switch will reboot/crash unexpected.
Thanks
