Veritas NetBackup comes with an undocumented tool called tldtest. You can use it to send commands to the robotics and move tapes from place to place.

I believe that you can set the Overland Data library to run in sequential "stacker" mode. This mode will automatically change tapes when they are full. There are no robotics controls in DataONTAP.
That brings up a related question though -- since ndmp allows SCSI commands to be sent directly to the device, that would theoretically allow one to control the robotics over the network via NDMP.
Do any of the NDMP-based packages support this? (Legato, Budtool, whatever)
Has anyone gotten this working by hacking around with NDMP?
