How do I stop an ignite tape automatically unloading?

Hi,

I have looked in the man pages etc for the switch for make_tape_recovery to not automatically eject the tape.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Steve

I don't recall that make_tape_recovery actually ejects the tape. I run weekly MNR scripts using the same tape without any intervention. I have to manually remove the tape.

Hi Steve:

If you are using a script to wrap the 'make_tape_recovery' command, look for an 'mt()' command that unloads the tape.

Regards!
