Catch 22 unlock drive import tape

[MikeLeach]

The running job has reached the end of tape 8 (HP autoloader 8 slots 1 drive). It requests tape 9 which I can not insert because the door is locked. i cant unlock the door because there is an active job (queued waiting for tape).

It was OK under 9.1, this has occured after the upgrade to 10D

Any Ideas ???

cheers
Mike

Does your tape library have a mail-slot? That will usually open without unlocking - that's how my HP tape library works....
