Are you using OpsCenter, or do you want library or drive specific assistance?

Please note - OpsCenter updates drive utilization at 0100 - so you get odd results for last 24 hours.

If you want specific for your library or drive, perhaps if you told us what you had, we could assist you.

Yes, from bptm log.

However, it would require some fairly serious scripting and a lot of time, depending on how good you wanted it to be.

In nutshell, bptm will show a tape mounting in a given drive.  You can consider that drive in use, until you see the same drive unloading further down the log.

It gets a it harder, as the unload, could of course happen after midnight, and so will be in the log for the following day.

Hi martin,

An interesting info...

Hi Sri Vani,

It is good to involve the opscenter to your environment for this kind of report generation.
