Hi All, is there an option to autoformat tapes when they are put into the drive?
Cheers
 
Not if you are using a single tape drive. If you are using a library or changer, then you can load up the device with the tapes you want to format and use the chgtest command-

e.g

chgtest changer:[changer id] erase/format startslot:[startslot no] endslot:[endslot no]

thanks for the reply
 
chgtest is for a library, tapetest for a stand alone drive.
