Help.. Script to show all non-active tapes that are inside the robot

[henrique_cano_2]

Hi,

Anyone has a script to show all tapes that are non-active and inside the robot?

Non-active .. as in not mounted in the last x-days?

You can use `vmquery -l -rn ` to get all tape info and grep out the ones whose last mount dates are earlier than a specified date.

Check the available media script which list all tapes and their status.

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/available_media

If you our using NetBackup 4.5 or earlier, see this technote for a fix in the script: http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/199300.htm

I agree with using the available_media script.

available_media >! available.txt

then grep on you library type
grep TL8 available.txt | egrep -v AVAILABLE | sort -k 4n -k 9bMessage was edited by:

What do you mean by "non-active"?
I would interpret that to mean that a tape is either full or frozen.
What do you want to do with these tapes?
Do you want to eject them to free up slots in the library?

I believe you will find what you are seeking on this link

It contains a script that will identify full tapes and eject them.
