How to find scratch tapes in library through command line.

[Andy_Welburn · Accepted solution]

e.g.

/opt/openv/volmgr/bin/vmquery -rn 1 -w|awk  '{print $1, $9, $12}'|grep -i scratch

will produce output similar to:

300545   84   Scratch_Pool
300609   3   Scratch_Pool
300615   86   Scratch_Pool
300696   115   Scratch_Pool
300706   111   Scratch_Pool
300742   112   Scratch_Pool

where -rn 1 is robot number 1
$1 is media_id
$9 is slot number
$12 is volume pool name

nbemmcmd -listmedia -poolname scratch | grep "Media ID:"

or if you are on windows:
 
nbemmcmd -listmedia -poolname scratch | findstr "Media ID:"

[Will_Restore]

shows all volumes in given pool, not necessarily in the library

Hi
you can view all media ,  and this media arrange to groups by perform command
> available_media

[faridux]

to know how many empty tapes are available
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/available_media | grep AVAILABLE

[Nicolai]

 nbemmcmd -listmedia -poolname scratch | grep -e "Media ID:" -e "Robot Number:"  |sed 'N;s/\n/ /;P;D;' | grep -v "-"
