Hello All!

I am in the process of creating a script that will allow me to query all of
our offsite NAS backup tapes and create a file that I can execute to check
the volumes into our DR NAS library as private so that they may be used.  I
have created the following command script:

Server Command Scripts : NASCHECKIN_VOLS



 Name                                 NASCHECKIN_VOLS

 Description                          Checkin volume script to be run at
                                      DR

query media stg=tape_ndmp_offsite -
wherestate=mountablenotinlib wherestatus=ful,fil -
cmd="checkin libvol drnaslib &vol status=private -
checkl=n" cmdf=/t01/dr/nascheckin.vols append=no

I then tried to run the script from the GUI command line and I did not
actually create the file I had wanted to.  By the way, the TSM server is
5.2.4.5 on an AIX OS 5.2 server.  At this point I am confused as to how to
get this process to work.  Daily I would like to recreate this file every
day so that I can use this at any disaster of our environment. (This file
would get copied to DVD daily for our OS copy)


What do I have to do to get this to work?


1.  Schedule an admin job to run the script?


2.  Schedule a cron job that will run this command?


And once I can get this command to actually create the file how do I then
execute it?


1.  Can I execute it from an admin command line on the AIX TSM server by
just typing: macro nascheckin.vols


2.  Can I cd to the directory where the file is located on the AIX server
and run it as an executable?  cd /t01/dr and then ./nascheckin.vols


Or am I completely off base here?  Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks!
