[Veritas-bu] How can I get information about a tape being outside the library using command line ?

hi christian

i don't know what kind of status you are expecting for, but with the command
\veritas\netbackup\bin\goodies\available_media(it both, for nt & unix) you
can get something like :

media	media	robot	robot	robot	side/	ret    size	status
 ID	type	type	  #	slot	face	level  KBytes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NetBackup pool

000005	DLT2     TLD	  0	  5	 -	 -     -	AVAILABLE
000006	DLT2     TLD	  0	  6	 -	 -     -	AVAILABLE
000010	DLT2     TLD	  0	  10	 -	 -     -	AVAILABLE
000013	DLT2     TLD	  0	  13	 -	 -     -	AVAILABLE
000016	DLT2     TLD	  0	  16	 -	 -     -	AVAILABLE
000019	DLT2     NONE	  -	  -	 -	 -     -	AVAILABLE
000020	DLT2     NONE	  -	  -	 -	 -     -	AVAILABLE
000021	DLT2     NONE	  -	  -	 -	 -     -	AVAILABLE
000022	DLT2     NONE	  -	  -	 -	 -     -	AVAILABLE
000023	DLT2     NONE	  -	  -	 -	 -     -	AVAILABLE
000001	DLT2     TLD	  0	  1	 -	 -     -	DBBACKUP
U00000	DLT2     TLD	  0	  29	 -	 3     0	FROZEN

the "robot #" shows you if the tape is in the library or not. if it's
written NONE, the tape it's outside the library.

i hope it helped you

best regards

Hi,all

I'd like to make some scripts telling me the status of the tapes that
are outside the library in a safe.So far I haven't been able to find
what command to run to get that information.I've found commands to list
what's on the tapes and stuff like that,but I can't seem to find out how
I can see if it's in or out of the library..Any ideas ?

best regards

Christian
