opendoor

Purpose

Use the opendoor command to open the import/export door of a tape library. This command only works for libraries that support it.

The import/export door is a mechanism that operators use to transfer tapes into and out of the library. You can then execute the importvol command to move volumes to internal slots in the library and the exportvol command to move volumes out of the library. Because the library itself is not opened during this process, a reinventory is not required.

Prerequisites

You must have the right to manage devices and change device state to use the opendoor command.

Syntax

opendoor::=

open•door [ --library/-L libraryname ]

Semantics

--library/-L libraryname

Specifies the name of the library on which you want to open the import/export door. If you do not specify a library name, then the library variable must be set.

Example

Example 2-100 opens the import/export door in library lib1.
