List cleaning times on drives clean a drive

tpclean -L

tpclean -C <drive number> tpclean -F <drive> <frequency> tpclean -M <drive>

change a drives cleaning frequency set a drives cleaning time to zero Move tapes within robot using robtest

robtest

commands that can be used are as follows:

ss sd si

(show slots) (show drives) (show load port)

m s250 d5 (move tape from slot 250 into drive 5) uload d5 (unload tape from drive 5) m d5 s250 (move tape from drive 5 to slot 250) m s250 i1 (mov tape from slot 250 to load port 1)

List load port tapes List all slot contents

echo "s i q" | tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0t4l0 echo "s s q" | tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0t4l0

List tape drive contents echo "s d q" | tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0t4l0 Move a tape in s100 to drive 1 echo "m s100 d1" | tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0t4l0 Move a tape to load port 1 echo "m s100 i1" | tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0t4l0
