My backup job finishes and leaves the media mounted on the 4 drives in the Scalar 100. I can run an nsrjb -u to remove them from the devices. Is there a way to actually withdraw them into the mailbox instead of just dismounting them? I know there is a -w parameter but I don't know the volume name and as they are still mounted there is no slot number.

Withdraw media from Scalar 100 1

What you're describing is a two-step opetation.
The tapes can be unmounted from the drives back to the slot. The tapes should automatically be dismounted after a about 10 minutes.
The tapes can then be withdrawn from the slot to the mailbox.

Wallace88,
Thanks for the post.I am trying to schedule this with a background job so when the operators get in they can just remove the tapes from the mailbox. When the backup job runs it seems to use any 4 tapes of the nominated group that are in the library, therefore I don't know which slots to use as a parameter to the nsrjb command.

Hey - Mu suggestion would be to have a script run when backups finish that:
1) Unload the tapes (all script examples are for Solaris csh):
nsrjb -u || goto end
This will unload tape and abort the script if any could not be unloaded (you need an end section in the script)
2) Detrmine volumes needed:
set list=`mminfo -q "savetime > 12 hours ago" -r "volume" | sort -u`
3) Remove the tapes using nsrjb:
nsrjb -w $list
Hope this helps...
