COmmand to check the drive status

You can try this command to view status from any media and master server.

#cd /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/
#./vmoprcmd -dp -h <media server name>

It will give u output as like this:

root@mastgerserver # ./vmoprcmd -dp -h mediaserver

HOPE THIS HELPS

It helps me a lot

Thanks Buddy

 

The command that the device monitor component of the admin GUI is:
$ vmoprcmd -M mymaster -devmon

Then perhaps write a script to process the list?

should give you everything/most things!!

Andy is correct.  The "vmoprcmd" command on its own is the same as when using the "-devmon" switch.

I have two scripts.  Both are MS/Win based.  One collects "vmoprcmd" every fifteen minutes.  And another is an "HTA" (i.e. HTML with embedded VBScript) that draws an auto refreshing display of RAG (Red/Amber/Green) status of our tape drives.  The HTA app can be called from anywhere, i.e. your own desktop, your Operations team etc, your wall mounted RAG screen.  Basically, it's a poor man's tape drive status monitor.  Only one script queries NetBackup every fifteen minutes, thus the impact on the master is very very low.  All other workstations do not need NetBackup installed to view the tape drive status, and thus all the monitoring has no impact on NetBackup.

I can post here.  But you'll need to modify it for your environment.

Looks like this:

This script is also useful (detect down & auto up): https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/downloads/script-drive-down-notification-and-automatically-drive

Hi,

This script looks great. Can you post it any where so i give it a try?

Thanks.
