You can use nsrjb to display information about the tapes and slots in your library, load and mount tape volumes, label tapes, deposit and withdraw tapes.
nsrjb internally when it needs to perform functions with the tape library. The functions that the nsrjb command provides are so numerous that they can seem to make your mind spin at times. It is for just that reason I have included tis quick reference guide.
