A customer who is running Dunix 3.2D-2 is wanting to know if there is
a way they can find out what tape they are doing dumps or restores on
without pulling the tape out of the TZ875 or doing a restore -tv. Is
there a product like Open VMS's SLS that the customer can use or is
there a command they can use to do this.

Not really...dump tapes are not labeled.... you might consider networker which does label tapes... | |||||

Particular to magazine based loaders, such as the TZ875, you can use the Media Robot Utility to see which slots of the magazine are empty. When V1.2 is available we'll print the source address, which for the drive on that loader indicates which slot the tape came from. Obiviously this only works when there is a tape in the drive. For most anything else you need tape labels and/or cataloging software; Networker. | |||||
