Re: BRMS -Library device storage slots full (C R)

 Darrell:

That depends a little on which library you are using.  Usually you can 
use the graphical interface (via a browser) to move tapes from slot to 
slot within the library.  I don't know of a way to have BRMS force the 
tape into the I/O station, usually it will put it back where it 
retrieved it from.

If the I/O slots are indeed full, then you have to manually go and 
remove them (hence the name of the slot).  BRMS then needs to have 
either the move policy show the tapes moved to the correct location or 
you have to manually put them there.  Just make sure the mind of BRMS 
(the BRMS database) and the physical reality match.
