What sort of support exists for manipulating tape libraries on a filer? I have an F740 running 6.1.2R1 in a heavy EMC environment using EDM for tape backup. I'm assuming EDM (being an EMC product) will not play well with the Netapp. I can attach an old Exabyte EXB-220 tape library (Mammoth-1 drive, 20 slots) to the F740's on-board SCSI. Given that there is no other backup hardware or software available, what can I do for backups? Is there an "mt" or other DOT command to control the robotics? The filer will eventually hold about 300GB, but I only need a short-term solution for now. First time with a direct-attached tape library... the docs don't say much about tape library support, only tape drives.
