Re: TS3200 tape library without BRMS.

We are trying to use the TS3200 tape library.
But are trying to not have to buy BRMS...

Has someone done this?
one of the first troubles is getting the first tape to load, without
either turning off/on the unit, or logging in to the unit and
"moving" a tape to the drive...

we have it set up to Sequential/autoload/[not]Loop. so once the first
tape is loaded we are fine...

I don't need all the features like random retrieval, or passing the
tape id.

I can recall little about my dealings with other tape libraries with similar requirements to use as a sophisticated\extended-function tape device, but I do recall heavily relying on a "Work with" command, presumably WRKMLBSTS [maybe 4=Allocate resource could assist?], from: GO CMDMLB
