DLT 35/70 and loading a tape
I am new to using these DLT's and wanted to know if there is a way to load a tape that has been ejected without going to the dlt drive and taking it out and putting it in again.
After using my backup sw it sometimes ejects the tape and I need to reload it automatically. I am using backupexec v9 if it helps on Windows 2000 Adv server
Thanks for any advice

Re: DLT 35/70 and loading a tape
DP even has the option to eject tapes when a full backup is done, but not when incrementals are done.
Good luck,
Vince

Re: DLT 35/70 and loading a tape
All I need to find out now, is if it is possible to remotely mount/load a tape that has been ejected already. i.e. a job or command to say - load tape.
Are there any management tools for the tape device outside of the backup software itself?

No, this is not possible. If the "Operate handle" LED is on the tape must be manually unloaded and loaded again before used.

Re: DLT 35/70 and loading a tape
As far as I know, no mainstream backup products now offer this feature - but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

Re: DLT 35/70 and loading a tape
Thanks for the info. I have downloaded v3.2 and have used it to perform a Media Validation Test, but the tape unloads afterwards.
Is there a script or option that will perform the load of the tape only?
regards
Nitesh

Re: DLT 35/70 and loading a tape
The software package you require is DLT Tape tools found on www.quantum.com.
It is downloadable from the support / storage section somewhere.
It definitly allows a command to tell a drive to re-load itself when the tape is unloaded with the green LED on and the handle still down.

Re: DLT 35/70 and loading a tape
Thanks again. I got a QXLink sw from the Quantum web site - but it doesn't have the commands (not that I can find). If you have a copy would you email it to me please, or point me to somewhere.
Thanks

Re: DLT 35/70 and loading a tape
A Google search revealed a revised QXLink package released only six months ago, but no longer available. It ran under NT 4, Windows 2000, and XP.
Here's the entry from quantum.treehousei.com/dlt/availableSoftware.aspx
QXLink Diagnostic Software for DLTtape Drives
Release Version: 1.1.6.2
Release Date: Apr-22-2003
File Name: QXLinkSetup.exe
File Size: 10.43MB
Description: QXLink is the first in a series of applications that will put drive diagnostic power into your hands. In less than 30 minutes, QXLink will evaluate your tape drive's health and determine if it needs to be sent in for service. This application, which replaces DLTtools, also provides detailed engineering drive analysis information and the ability to quickly download updates to the firmware, application, online help, test script and release notes.
The QXLink software runs on the following Windows operating systems: 98, NT 4.0, 2000 and XP.
