  • Logon to OpsCenter / Manage / Alert Policies / Add / Device, Mount Request.

    If you want the alert to be emailed, then in OpsCenter, also configure an email recipient, and configure SMTP target details.

  • Ok, here's a script, but...

    ...it may not be completely suitable...

    ...you may need to make some adjustments...

    ...and I left in an example of an alert being punted out to BMC Patrol, but it's commented out.

    ...anyway, the script assumes a few things...

    1) That 'blat' is pre-configured and working.

    2) That the system wide 'path' includes the path to the NetBackup commands.

    3) That you will configure a scheduled taks to run it, perhaps once every 10 or 15 or 30 minutes or so.

    4) You will need to modify the 'cluster-node1/2' check so that it matches on the name of your master server.

    5) You will need to modify the email target addresses.

    6) Create a folder for the script to live in:   D:\NBU-SCRIPTS\pending-media

    7) Save the script as 'pending-media.bat'

    8) Create another plain ASCII text file in the same folder, named 'pending-media.med' (use 'notepad') and enter in to this file a list of all of the master, master/media, media servers in this NetBackup domain that have tape drives visible to them - so that the script can query each media server.

  • If you have an OpsCenter server, you can simply setup and alert for mount requests.

  • Can someone show me what are configuration steps for E-mail alert for mount requests in OpsCenter

    This is very helpful solution to everyone………

  • Logon to OpsCenter / Manage / Alert Policies / Add / Device, Mount Request.

    If you want the alert to be emailed, then in OpsCenter, also configure an email recipient, and configure SMTP target details.
