- Deepak_WLevel 6You can import the tapes from the admin GUI.
there are two phases of tape import
First phase builds the sceleton metadata.
Second phase allows you to select which image to actually complete the import process.
You can do this by two ways -
1. You can do this from admin GUI.
2. You can do this from CLI as mentioned below.
Phase1
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimport -create_db_info -id D0003 -server megatron -L /tmp/bpimport.phase1 &
Generate image list:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpimport -PM -s 01/01/71 00:00:00 -e 09/20/01 23:59:59 -id D0003 | awk '{print $5}' > /tmp/import_list

Good info......
Yet.... Can I limit the number of drives this process uses....
Thanks!

I think you will not be able to Limit the Drive that import uses.
As an alternative you can down the Drives that you want to exclude from import and get up them whenever you require :-)
