hi christian

i don't know what kind of status you are expecting for, but with the command
\veritas\netbackup\bin\goodies\available_media(it both, for nt & unix) you
can get something like :

media   media   robot   robot   robot   side/   ret    size     status
 ID     type    type      #     slot    face    level  KBytes

the "robot #" shows you if the tape is in the library or not. if it's
written NONE, the tape it's outside the library.

i hope it helped you

best regards

Subject: [Veritas-bu] How can I get information about a tape being
outside the library using command line ?


Hi,all

I'd like to make some scripts telling me the status of the tapes that
are outside the library in a safe.So far I haven't been able to find
what command to run to get that information.I've found commands to list
what's on the tapes and stuff like that,but I can't seem to find out how
I can see if it's in or out of the library..Any ideas ?

best regards

Christian
