Check out my tape_rotation.sh script at www.NetBackupCentral.com.  It
basically is designed to identify media that are either full, frozen or
suspended and haven't been written to or read from in X number of days.  You
may be able to use it or some part of it for your specific application.
Additionally it identifies BAD media.  The script considers BAD Media to be
those that are FROZEN, but have no images  (all have expired).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Finding volumes in attached libraries.


I'm writing a script to find "older" volumes that are part of an HSM
system so they may be moved out of the libraries for new tapes.

I can query HSM to give me the "last written" date on a tape.  I need
besides that a list of tapes in the robots, and possibly the "last
mount" time.

Because I have a lot of volumes, I don't think I want to feed them
one by one into 'vmquery'.  Is there a way to get a big list of all
the volumes, perhaps limited by robot (not a big deal if I can do
that in the script).

I suppose I could simply parse the 'available_media' report, but was
wondering if there were anything else that would get the information
a little bit quicker.

Thanks.
