the changer slot where the tape resides, the new tape name name, and the expiration date date.
date must be specified in the format appropriate for the current locale. See the output of the -usage option for the proper format. Alternately, date can be the keyword def, in which case the expiration date is set one year in the future.
Note that all the tapes to be formatted must belong to the same device group.
the changer slot where the tape resides, and the type of erase operation to take place. If mode is the letter q, a "quick" erase is performed, whereas if mode is the letter r, a "regular" erase is performed. See also the discussion on the -erase option.
Note that all the tapes to be erased must belong to the same device group.
Only one of the above options can be used at a time. If no options are present, -usage is assumed.
user is not a valid ARCserve/Open user. See the SCO ARCserve/Open User Guide for details.
ARCserve Operator privileges are needed in order to perform any device management operation. Device and tape information is available to all users.
The SCO ARCserve/Open scheduler is not running. You must start SCO ARCserve/Open first.
The SCO ARCserve/Open tape server refused the job request.
scsiID is incorrect.
The operation cannot be performed at this time.
Device management operation failed.
A tape is required for most device mangement operations!
Format and erase operations will succeed only on writable tapes.
SCO ARCserve/Open allows setting the compression mode only if a blank tape is present in the tape drive.
Copy operations are not meaningful if the source tape is blank.
SCO ARCserve/Open will allow only blank tapes as destinations for copy operations.
An invalid SCSI id was provided for a changer operation.
An invalid slot number was probably given.
The slot number specified has no tape assigned to it.
A changer load/unload operation was requested, but the tape is already loaded/unloaded.
For multiple (changer) tape format/erase, all the tapes must be in the same group.
An import operation specified a slot that is already occupied.
A cleaning operation referenced an invalid tape device SCSI id.
This version of as_devmgr does not perform device configuration. You will need to use the SCO ARCserve/Open frontend for this task.
In order to perform a copy operation, it is preferable that the source and destination devices are identical. If not, the user is given the option of aborting the operation.
