Best practices for setting up Dell VTL Container or NetVault Backup native virtual tape library (nVTL)

:: Open and close I/O Port, to remove a
:: remaining media, wait 5 seconds
:: ==============================================
@echo “%nvutil%\nvopeneeport.exe” -libraryname “%library_name%” “%nvutil%\nvopeneeport.exe” -libraryname
“%library_name%”
choice /T 5 /C jn /N /D j >NUL: “%nvutil%\nvcloseeeport.exe” -libraryname “%library_name%” choice /T 5
/C jn /N /D j >NUL:
echo Stage 3 - Completed
::
::
:: ==============================================
:: Export expired media and open
:: I/O Port. Library cannot load media
:: into a drive anymore
:: ============================================== echo “%nvutil%\nvexportmedia.exe” -barcode %ML%
“%nvutil%\nvexportmedia.exe” -barcode %ML%
choice /T 5 /C jn /N /D j >NUL: “%nvutil%\nvopeneeport.exe” -libraryname “%library_name%” echo Stage 4

::
:: ===============================================
:: Media is now unreachable for the library
:: in I/O Slot, now we cheat NetVault Backup!
::
:: For security reasons: Rename old media rst
:: After that, create new media with old name
:: Deletion in next step
