Thanks for the response; however my master server only controls the
library. Is there an equivalent command for a windows media server? This
will however work on my Linux systems.

Possibly run a script every 5 mins from the master using the vmoprcmd ,
grep out DOWN drives .

 

Take it from there basically , use the -h option to see the state of
other media servers drives

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Monitoring Tape drives

Hello all,

 

I was wondering if anyone out there recommends monitoring software or
has a script on there master/media server that monitors the tape drives.
We are in the process of getting something but it is going to take time.
I do not have the $$'s to purchase something. I would like to get an
e-mail when a drive goes down. 

 

Master Server Sun E450 controls the robot l700

Media Server MS Windows 2003 server controls 4 LTO2 tape drives

Media server Linux controls 6 9840B tape drives

 

Any ideas would be much appreciated. TIA
