Re: Write protecting tapes

Does anyone know if there is a way to get BRMS to set the write protect on
a VTL tape volume? Ideally I'd like to set it upon the end of the control
group and have BRMS maintenance clear it when the tape hits expiration.

Apparently it's a thing now to write protect tapes to prevent bad actors
from initializing tape data.
This has gone into the VTL world too.
Of course, the VTL crew tries to figure out a way to automate this with a
cli interface to the vtl. Something about that seems weird. Like, we can
show you that the tapes are write protected, can you check that off the
audit list?
