You could do something like this...

bpmedialist -mlist -rl 9 -l|awk '{print $13,$7,$1}'|sort -n -k1 -k2

This will print, respectively, pool number, tape expiration date (epoch
time) and tape number.

You'll have to do a little conversion after the fact to convert pool
number to pool name and epoch time to readable time.  Just a few loops
will do it.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Command to use for soon to be expired tapes

What would be the best command to use in NetBackup to receive a list
with tapes that will expire soon (like bpmedialist -summary) but sorted
on the Media Pool they belong to ?

I do not see any option in bpmedialist that can do this.
