Let's say I have tape #123456. I want to know when all images on the tape
will expire and it will be scratched. Actually, I have about 2,000 tapes
and I want to run a report that says "these tapes will expire on these
days". We do not mix retention levels but there are many different pools
with different retention levels. No, the available_media script does not
give this information - it
does not address the future.
So...how can I determine that? Seems like a basic bit of management info.
bpimmedia will show me what images are on the tape and when the expire, but
parsing that out for 2,000 tapes and processing it (compare dates) is not
feasible. For one thing, I was hoping to run this report daily and
bpimmedia takes about 3 minutes per tape and there aren't 6,000 minutes in a
day ;)
