The tjb commands check if the drive (/dev/rmt/mt?) is in use only at the
beginning of the command. If any tape operation is started after a tjb
command is initiated, the tjb command may eject the tape from the drive
and cause a no media in drive error for the tape operation.
If the drive door is closed without a tape in the drive, a no media in
drive message displays on the console and the user must manually open the
drive door.
DIAGNOSTICS
The following is a list of common error messages and their meanings:
No information for jukebox "MY_TJB" in configuration file
The logical name MY_TJB cannot be found in /etc/TJBCFG. The
configuration file may be missing the =, {, or } characters.
get_status: Device busy
Failed to get drive status information
If the tape drive door is closed, the file /dev/rmt/mt* is checked
to see if the drive is in use.
Unit attention detected, performing reset
A reset is performed, and the tape is moved to the first empty
slot.
Cartridge in changer, attempting to place in empty slot
Cartridge placed in slot 3
The jukebox door was opened, or a SCSI bus reset has occurred while
the cartridge handler mechanism had a cartridge retrieved. The
cartridge is placed in the first empty slot found.
EXIT VALUES
The tjb_eject command exits with a value of 0 if successful. If
unsuccessful, it exists with a nonzero value.
