The 3581's don't ship in Sequential Mode. Grab the user guide or the quick ref card and set the autoloader to SEQ Mode and that will fix the prob since you are already doing the *UNLOAD _____________________ Kirk Goins CCNA Systems Engineer, Manage Inc.

The last step in the backup program is a DSPTAP ENDOPT(*UNLOAD), so hopeully that will cause the next tape to be pulled in from the next slot. We'll be testing tonight. -- Paul Nelson Arbor Solutions, Inc. 708-670-6978 Cell pnelson@xxxxxxxxxx -----midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: ----- To: "Midrange Systems Technical Discussion" <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> From: "Haase, Justin C." <justin.haase@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 08/16/2005 08:53AM Subject: RE: 3581 Tape drive question Schedule a CHKTAP DEV(TAPxx) ENDOPT(*UNLOAD) for some time prior to the next backup start time.

My client has a 3581 tape drive, and wants to automate his daily backups. He wants to load up 5 tapes on Monday, and not come back to it until after the Friday backup is done. The entire system will fit on one cartridge. The question is this: How can I tell the tape drive to pull in the next tape and make it ready after the previous tape has unloaded? I know I used to do this with a 3570, but can't find the documentation on how to do this with a 3580.
