[SunHELP] [Q] anyone know "Robotic Automation and/or 2nd drive"on VeritasNetbackup?

[Bruce Pullig]

I've not worked with an L9 before.   Some libraries will automatically
eject tapes and load the next slot.  If the L9 will do this then you can
get around having the Automation feature.  But to get the most out of
your L9, I'd suggest getting the software.

I've done it both ways with different tape libraries, and the only
effecient way is with the Tape server (Legato, Veritas) automation
control feature.
