Hi All
is there a way to clear persistent reservation on Tape devices?
Sometimes the jukebox cannot unmount tapes saying they are locked by a host although all backup, clone jobs are finished.
The only way I succeedto do it is by rebooting the drive.
Thank you

You may probably also succeed by killing the nsrmmd process.

you can avoid this by using the device idle timeout attribut.
For me 5 minutes worked always fine.

I restarted the Nw services stopped nsrmmd processes without success.
The idle device timeout is set but without any effect.
Is there any scsi tool that releases these locks?

The only thing that i can think of is a (hardware) reset. There is a software reset as well but i do not know of any NW utility that could help here.
