bemcmd - Media label

[Aaron_Castillo]

Hi all:

I tried to use (https://da.veritas.com/client/web/user/LoginMain.do) but I couldnt get the diagnostics to load so I couldnt submit a case there.

How can I use bemcmd to retrieve the Media label for a tape that is in the drive?

Hello Aaron,

You could through the following Admin Guide:
VERITAS Backup Exec (tm) 10.0 for Windows Servers and Symantec Backup Exec (tm) 10d for Windows Servers Command Line Utility Guide

Hope that helps you.

Thanks,

Sandeep answered my question. Here are the steps to retrieve the Media Label using bemcmd (not the gui)

Step 1:
bemcmd -o117 -d >>myfile.txt

Step 1a: open myfile.txt (retrieve guid)

Step 2:
bemcmd -o30 -i{27C9FEE0-56EA-4B2D-97FE-DE2D621984E8}

Step 3:
bemcmd -o31 -fbexec_811.xml (found in stdout in step2)

Step 4:
Output displays Media label
