Need help updating my AIX shell script that uses IBM tape tool.
I have a shell script that interfaces with our tape library using IBM's Tape Diagnostic tool called "itdt".
The script does some basic stuff, it queries the tape library, loads tape to/from drive; it knows which inventory slot to pick the tape from based on SLOT=$(($BASESLOT + $TODAY)).
The problem is, this only ever interacts with the first 7 tapes in a 24 tape library because TODAY=`date +%w` is going to return values from 1-7 depending on the day of the week the script runs.
Using $TODAY is not ideal because it only ever loads/unloads the first 7 tapes in a 23 tape library.
Anyone able to give some pointers as to how I would update this script so that it fully utilizes all 23 tape slots. What other method could I use instead of..
to make use of all 23 slots.. below is full script..
