Hi!
Using Netbackup 6.5.1, I developed a GUI to import and export tapes from a scalar i500 robotic.
The matter is vmchange needs a user interaction to know when the user have removed tapes from the mailslot. Otherwise, the tape is ingested again. I wrote this script in perl (newb in perl) but the user interaction i sumulate seems to fail with vmchange. The vmupdate indicates that the tape is still ingested although it's not the case. Here is the code:
# Export tape
if (@ARGV != 1) {
print "usage: export barcode \n";
exit -1;
}
$barcode=$ARGV[0];
$enter="\n\n";
$quit="q\n";
$sleepBeforeEnter = 120;
$sleepBeforeQuit = 30;
print "Running vmchange...\n";
open (ENTER, "|\"C:\\Program Files\\VERITAS\\Volmgr\\bin\\vmchange\" -res -multi_eject -w -rt TLD -rn 0 -rh hostname -h hostname -ml $barcode") or die "Impossible de lancer import_bande";
print "Sleep before simulating ENTER. Please remove tape from mailslot\n";
sleep $sleepBeforeEnter;
print "Simulating ENTER \n";
print ENTER $enter;
print "Sleep before exit to let vmchange exit\n";
sleep 30;
exit 0;
Some help will be appreciated ;).
Regards.
