I need to know how to setup automatic alert in NetBackup Enterprise Server for scratch count. We used to receive the scratch count alert weekly from netbackup server.
My concern is where we do all these settings ?
I tried to find out but failed.. If someone can help me that is great.

Can we able to setup this request in NBconsole ?
You could monitor scratch tapes with a script running on the master server. I have one in crontab that runs every couple of hours to check.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
scratch=`/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmquery -pn Scratch | grep -c "robot slot"`
if [ $scratch -le 50 ]; then
echo "Current scratch = $scratch tapes" | mailx -s "SCRATCH TAPES LOW - $scratch remaining" emailaddress@company.com
else
exit
fi
I am looking at this statement in your opening post:
"We used to receive the scratch count alert weekly from netbackup server."
Please tell us more about your environment:
NBU version
OS on master server
Any reporting/management tool installed or previously installed such as NOM/VBR/OpsCentre?
The report that you mention is usually standard in reporting tools.
Any idea what happened that would stop these reports?
NBU upgrade? Reporting tool machine switched off / decommissioned?
window 2003
Net backup 6.5.6
We have NOM
Actually the reports didnt stopped. We need to edit the sender list. We didnt upgrated yet planning in progress.
