List of barcode rules from the command line?

Awesome!! The ability to do that will definitely help in our automation processes to confirm a library has been set up with barcode rules for both regular media AND cleaning tapes. :)

Recently we had a library that had been active for 1-2 months that had cleaning tapes in it yet the barcode rule for them was never set up. Found out the hard way when drives started going down. :\

I plan to write a perl script that will go out and audit for some basic checklist stuff like

• library has cleaning tapes
• library has barcode for cleaning tapes
• library has scratch

Y'know, the basics. :)

Thanks again everyone!

Hello Mario

Sure it is !!

Check this command out

vmrule -listall

where is it located -> #which vmrule
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmrule

Hi Mario,

I haven't been able to find a command line option to display barcode rules, however if you look in NetBackup_Installation_Path/volmgr/vm.conf, you should be able to see them there.

Here's what I see inside vm.conf on the Master server that controls my tape system:

MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS = 0 8 1:2:3:4:5:6

Hope that helps,

Steve
