Re: [Networker] Adv_file house keeping

If this is UNIX, why not something like:

find <aftd_dev_dir> > /tmp/files
for file in `mminfo <blah>`; do
 filepath=`grep $file /tmp/files`
 rm $filepath
done

Not the nicest, but should do what you need.

Hi Gurus,

We have a situation where we have a couple of hundred physical disk

files I need to clear off our adv_file devices - these are savesets that
have been staged to tape but, for whatever reason, haven't been removed
from the adv_file devices.  I have updated the media db to remove
references to these disk based files and am in the process of manually
removing them from disk, and this is where my problem lies.

I know I can use ssid(60) in the report options for mminfo to report the

disk filename, but ideally I'd like NetWorker to tell me *where* on the
adv_file device I can find it, i.e. give me the path as well as the
filename.  Our 3rd party support inform me that they've tried to raise
this before and EMC basically told them to go away and that they didn't
need to know how to drill down to that level.

So... does anybody out there have the faintest idea how to glean this

info from NetWorker?  We are running NW v7.2 Build 494.

Please note that I can't just label the volumes because I still have

live data on them.

Best Regards,

Vince
