I checked the below Post but script is not in place. https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/report-cleaning-tapes Martin mentioned: Script it ... nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid shows a field "Cleanings remaining" .... Loop through each cleaning tape, pull out the single line containing 'Cleaings'. vmquery I suspect (don't have a system to hand to check) .... has a cleaning remaining field, and has the option to give a single line output for each tape. This is even easier, as yo can id each line that is a ceaning tape by using the density type, and then just print the two fields that refer to the media id and the cleanings remaining Need to know how....can you please give me exact command which will shows Cleaning Count.We have 4 libraries. Looking for help...

Simplest thing to do would probably save something like the following as a script & schedule it via cron: vmquery -b -p 0 | grep CL |awk '{print "tape:"$1, "robot:"$4, "cleanings_Remaining:"$8}' > clean.out mailx -s "Cleaning Tapes - uses left" someonewhocares@company.com < clean.out

for UNIX:

vmquery -b -p 0 |grep CL |awk '{print "tape:"$1, "robot:"$4, "cleanings_Remaining:"$8}'

if you have windows find the grep and awk for windows.

Or just run the "vmquery -b -p 0" command (p 0 is the NONE pool)

Thanks StefanosM

Actually i have 3 Tape libraries.TLD0,TLD1,TLD2.

So if i have to ran a script it should be like this:

Reqquest you to please check...In our enviorment Cleaining is set to 40....

#!/bin/ksh

vmquery -b -p 0 |grep CL |awk '{print "tape:"$1, "robot:"$0, "cleanings_Remaining:"$8}'

vmquery -b -p 0 |grep CL |awk '{print "tape:"$1, "robot:"$1, "cleanings_Remaining:"$8}'

vmquery -b -p 0 |grep CL |awk '{print "tape:"$1, "robot:"$2, "cleanings_Remaining:"$8}'

echo "Current TLD0 = $TLD0 Cleaning Tapes, TLD1 = $TLD1 Cleaning Tapes, TLD2 = $TLD2 Cleaning Tapes" | mailx -s "CLEANING TAPES REMAINING IN LIBRARY - TLD0 $cleaning TLD1 $Cleaning1 TLD2 $cleaning2" company@mail.com

no.

Just run the command from the command line. It is not a script.

You have to redirect the output to a file and then send it as email.

Configuring the email client is something I can not help you.

Can you send emails from the Linux CLI?
Do you have any working script that sent email to you?

Unfortunately I do not have a suitable system to enable me to test any library/tape related scripts, so I will need you to help me so I can try & help you.

Initially, can you provide the output from vmquery -b -p 0 per Stefanos' original post?

Try this first:

vmquery -b -p 0 -rn 0

Depending on the output, we can 'fine tune' the rest of the command.

and a screen shot of GUI from the NONE volume pool (media and device management -> media -> volume pools -> None)

also the output of the command
vmpool -list_all -b

Some times the copy paste does not copy the minus symbol (-) correctly. Check the commands before you run them or type them.
