bpmedia -freeze

[Radhi_Youssef]

Hello all,

Is there a way to unfreeze more medias at once? Like 70 frozen tapes and then there is a need to unfreeze these medias. Like a script or something? Any tips would do. Thanks.

Hi,

You could use the graphical interface if your not stuck to command line. Now in 6.5 you can unfreeze selecting a lot of tapes.

Are you using Windows or Unix.

I'm working on Windows so I will use a batch file

for "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (list.txt) do (

 bpmedia -unfreeze -h <Media Server> -m %%a

) 

list.txt is the list of clients like this. 

ClientA

ClientB

ClientC 

You can put in one line then you have to modify the script if you know what you are doing. :)

And for UNIX:

cat list.txt | while read MEDIA

do

bpmedia -unfreeze -h <Media Server> -m $MEDIA

done

where list.txt is a list of media to be un-frozen & <Media Server> is the name of the media server (if appropriate).

or something similar!
