Title: Ejecting Tape
Post by: Paul van Dun on March 26, 2002, 10:27:36 AM

Hello everyone,


Since a few weeks we are running SME 5.12 on our server at work, because it will replace the Novell server (Yes, Yes).
Now there is one question standing, it''s running on a Dell 24000T server with a Archive Python tape streamer, which works fine but can flexbackup te bo set that it will eject the tape after completing a backup job.


Thanks in advance,

Yes, you have to modify /usr/bin/flexbackup.

Not tested.
Near line 370, after rewind, I'd put an "mt eject" command.

flexbackup mt sub does not support eject but it could be extended.
Or, I think, you could call mt directly.
