Hello, anybody out there that is using itdt to manage tape changes in a tape library. The help of itdt show a move subcommand but I can't get it to work.
Env:
AIX5.3
Dell PowerVault TL2000 tape library -> rmt1 Available 01-08-02 IBM 3580 Ultrium Tape Drive (FCP)
# itdt says it finds the following devices.
Code:
IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool Standard Edition - Device List
Host Bus ID LUN Model Serial Ucode Changer [#]
+----+----+----+----+----+--------------+------------+------+------------+-+
| 0 | 1 | 8 | ## | 0 | ULT3580-TD4 | 1310234939 | A232 | 78N1259_LL0| |
| 1 | 1 | 8 | ## | ## | 3573-TL | 78N1259_LL0| 9.30 | | |
But when I trie to move a tape I get the following :
Code:
# ./itdt -f /dev/smc0 move 1 10
Moving medium: source 1, destination 10...
Operation not supported on device, errno 22: Invalid argument
Exit with code: 22
So is my environment not supported by itdt or am I doing something wrong?
Does anyone know how to move tapes within a library to the load port using NetBackup? robtest will not work with NetBackup running, and I would like to have a script move the tapes to be sent offsite to the load port for easier removal. (2 Replies)

Hi Community,
I've a V440 Sun Server with 2 device tape of 72GB. I have to backup a folder of 80 GB, so I have to use 2 tapes of 72GB (144 GB);
If I use vxdump command which are the options that I have to use?
When the first tape finishes does the system stop the backup?
Please help me... (1 Reply)

TGTIMG(8)TGTIMG(8)NAME
tgtimg - Linux SCSI Target Framework Image File Utility
SYNOPSIS
tgtimg [-o --op <operation>] [-Y --device-type <device-type>] [-b --barcode <barcode>] [-s --size <size>] [-t --type <media-type>]
[-f --file <path>]
tgtimg --help
DESCRIPTION
Tgtimg is a utility to create and manage the image files used by the TGTD device emulation.
This command is used to initialize device image files with the additional metadata, such as barcode, list of blocks, total size, etc that
the TGTD emulation needs.
OPTIONS -h, --help
Show a help screen and exit.
-o, --op {new|show}
Operation. Is either new to create a new image file or show to show the content of an existing image file.
-Y, --device-type <type>
This specifies the type of image file.
Supported device types are :
cd : to create media for a dvd device
disk : to create media for a disk device
tape : to create media for a tape device
-t, --type <media-type>
When creating a new image, this specifies the type of media to emulate. The available mediatypes depend on the type of the device.
Supported media types for cd devices are :
dvd+r : create a blank writeable DVD+R disk
Supported media types for disk devices are :
disk : create an empty disk
Supported media types for tape devices are :
data : create a normal data tape
clean : create a cleaning tape
worm : create a worm
-b, --barcode <barcode>
When creating a new image, this argument specifies the barcode to use with this image file. Backup application software often uses
barcodes to identify specific tapes. When emulating a VTL, make sure that all tape images use unique barcodes.
-s, --size <size>
When creating a new image, this specifies the size in megabytes for the virtual tape image.
-f, --file <path>
The filename of the image file.
EXAMPLES
To create a new 100MByte disk
tgtimg --op new --device-type disk --type disk --size 100 --file /data/hd001.raw
To create a new tape image
tgtimg --op new --device-type tape --barcode 12345 --size 100 --type data --file /data/tape001.img
To view the content of an existing image
tgtimg --op show --device-type tape --file /data/tape001.img
To create a new blank DVD+R image
tgtimg --op new --device-type cd --type dvd+r --file /data/dvd001.iso
