RE: Save system and tape drive

["Smith, Mike" <Mike_Smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It appears the ENDOPT is (*REWIND) on the SAV command.  
This certainly does beg the question how it ever ejects the tape.  I'm
just going by what I've been told happens.  I can't say for certain that
the tape should or should not eject on the system save. 

The problem with it not ejecting is that we are a small shop and
technically we don't have an operator.  We have someone that changes the
tapes(ie a week at a time normally).  If we are off on Monday and the
Save system doesn't eject, then it won't load Monday nights tape for the
daily save.

If the ENDOPT is (*LEAVE) then how would a successful save ever eject a 
tape?

I suspect that is the case, but I am not sure how to prove it.  The
ENDOPT on the SAV command in QMNSAVE is *LEAVE and it has been a long
time since I ran an option 21.

Pressing F1, then F9 on any of the QHST messages below will give you the
name, user and number of the job that ran the backup; you should then be
able to find the joblog if it exists.

Do you run the option 21 save daily or weekly?

Here are the last save messages in QHST. 

316 libraries saved at 05/08/05 02:42:52. 
7429 document library objects saved. 
35335 objects saved. 1 not saved. 

I can find no joblog showing the save/not saved objects. 

I will ultimately have to determine the un saved object, but my
immediate concern with holidays coming up, is finding out if having the
1 object not saved is preventing the tape from ejecting or if there is
some other issue with the tape drive.

Check the joblog for a CPD384E or CPFA09E message.

Our operator has come to me with this issue.  He is telling me that
occasionally the tape drive is not ejecting after the system save(Go
Save 21).  We have a 3581 autoloader tape drive. 

Looking in QHST I see that the last part of the save SAV  shows 1 object
not saved.  It doesn't show me what wasn't saved however. 

Could/would this prevent the tape from ejecting on a system save. 

I can't seem to find the object that wasn't saved.  Is there any place
to look to see this?
