Probably the first thing I would do is comment out the second DEVCTRL; it's
superfluous and confusing things.
The second thing I would do is remove the first pause, unless the program
ONLINE fails. You can try this on-line and see what happens.
The next thing is to make sure the file equation (*backup) you are using for
the tape actually specifies the Ldev of the autoreply tape drive or a class
unique to it.

Subject: [HP3000-L] DDS back online after :STORE
I'm reasonably certain this has been asked before, and I've tried to follow
some examples, but I'm at Witt's End. [There is a letter here.]
I've tried to reincarnate our :VSTORE-after-:STORE method of backup and
verify, but with autoreply set on the tape drive now. We've never used
autoreply before (long story) and I'm having trouble with the sequence of
events in the backup job that results in getting a tape request waiting for
a reply, rather than finding the mounted tape. The guts of the job does
this:
> #tellop Backup job is beginning...
> #devctrl.mpexl.telesup 7 compression=enable eject=disable load=online
> #back7x24
> #tellop Backup job is complete.
> #pause 60
> #tellop Verifying...
> online.util.lps 7
> #pause 30
> #devctrl.mpexl.telesup 7 compression=enable eject=enable load=online
> #vstore *backup;@[log in to unmask]@;progress=1
I've tried this, as well as doing the devctrl before the online.util.lps,
various pauses, and can't get a consistent result. More often than not, it
doesn't work, and there is a reply pending in the morning for the vstore.
The version of "online" is:
> ONLINE A0a Copyright (c) 1991 Allegro Consultants, Inc. (408)
252-2330
I tried without online at first, and threw it in there later in hopes it
would help. It did, but still not consistently.
Can anyone share their solution to achieve the desired result?
