Is it possible to predict next tape used by BRMS?
Tape library TS3100 holds 22 tapes, but we are having
data center pull nightly save tape from I/O slot each day,
and return 13 days later, fora 2 week rotation.
Drive will have some spares loaded & init.
Every 1st day of month tape is pulled permanently.
Is it something like getting the volume with the oldest expire date?
TS3100 in random mode.
Trying to avoid daily user maint WRKMEDBRM.
