However, matching and checking for free devices is a manual task.<\/p>\nomnilistfreedevs<\/code>, you will get a list of free devices. The software offers different options, i.e it is possible to list SCSI devices only or to skip the listing of devices from filelibraries. With the search parameter you are even more flexible. For further automation you can configure a plain list of free devices.<\/p>\n\n
